The Philadelphia Flower Show
Our
tour to the Philadelphia
Flower Show in March remains a highpoint in our Gardening year.
It is considered one of the world's premier flower shows. And it
is the largest indoor flowershow. It is held in the extensive Pennsylvania
Convention Center in center city at 13th and Cherry Street.
Plan a couple of trips to the flower show to see all the exhibits
because there are really too many to see in one day. Visit their
website for more information (click on their name to go to their
website). In 2007 PHS celebrated the 178th anniversary of the
Philadelphia Flower Show. The show theme was "Legends of
Ireland'', which celebrated the most accomplished florists, landscapers
and horticulturists at this spring extravaganza. "Bella Italia" was another popular show. Each show is more delightful than the last.
Star
studded culinary demonstrations, an internationally renowned lecture
series, and an elegant afternoon tea complete this world-class exposition
celebrates years of floral magnificence. It is the largest indoor flower show in the world!!
Before
you go, check the schedule for the free lectures and demonstrations.
Last year, we visited the lecture on roses, which was very informative.
In 2007 we attended lectures on soil and orchids, among others. Last year we learned more about African violets, daylilies, and pruning.
Let's plan to go again each year! Just
email us if you'd like to join us on the first Monday of the show!
