It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
It’s always sunny in Philadelphia? That’s hardly true, especially in early March. But when the annual Philadelphia Flower Show opens its doors on March 2, it will certainly feel like a sunny Spring day.
Leave behind the last of winter’s blustery cold weather and treat yourself to a dose of Spring at one of the nation’s oldest flower shows. Once you pass through the show’s flower-filled entrance, all thoughts of winter will magically melt away.
Upclose at the 2023 show
The first Philadelphia Flower Show was in 1829, so the show is marking its 195th anniversary. This year’s theme is United by Flowers.
The annual flower show’s jaw dropping exhibitions and aromatic experiences are legendary. Once a year the flower show’s pros and volunteers transform the Philadelphia Convention Center into a magical garden. Visitors can discuss gardening with the professionals, attend workshops or simply wander through the show in wonderment. The displays range from invitingly intimate (I want to sit down right here and never leave) to astonishingly massive (How did they get these huge trees in here?)
