The Philadelphia Flower Show is an annual rite of spring for me, even if it comes a few weeks early. It invariably inspires me and gives me hope that I will soon be gardening.
The 2019 show titled “Flower Power” pays homage to the music and culture of the 1960s and the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. It also explores the pervasive role that flowers play in our lives. The show runs from March 2 through the 10.
This year a world-renown event, the FTD World Championship, will at the show from March 1-3. The championship will bring together top designers from 23 countries for the three-day competition. Visitors can watch designers compete during the opening days of the show. The competition has not been held in the United States since 1985. Visitors can watch designers compete and their displays will remain on display for the entire show.
