Attended the Horticulture Society’s preview of the 2023 Philadelphia Flower Show, Friday, March 3
Here is some of what I saw:
The show is spectacular. The entrance is overwhelming.The lightening at the entrance sets the mood. One knows one is in for an amazing experience.Tulips and other spring flowers in full bloom.
The show is huge. It extends the length of three city blocks, the width of one city block. It is on the second floor of the Philadelphia Convention Center at 1101 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA 19107. Garden clubs, landscape businesses, school children, artists to name a few, exhibit. A huge market is Included at the back of the show, where one can buy a wide range of products, including cut flowers, gardening equipment, clothing, and various other items.
If you go, expect crowds. This is a show no one wants to miss.
