Philadelphia - Event

The Pennsylvania Convention Center is transformed into a dazzling garden of exotic plants during its annual flower show. The Philadelphia Flower Show is one of the jewels in Philadelphia's crown.

The Philadelphia Flower Show features a broad range of exhibits, including exotic plants and flowers and landscaping displays. One of the most popular activites on offer is afternoon tea, served amidst luxuriant floral arrangements in a ballroom setting. Reservations can be booked in advance on the show's website.

In The American Gardener's Studio a series of hands-on and interactive activities allows visitors to learn about and observe demonstrations of new and traditional gardening techniques. Experts are on hand in the grand hall to answer gardening questions and a series of free lectures covers many topics of horticultural history and gardening practices. A book fair runs for the duration of the Philadelphia Flower Show, offering books on plant and flower topics, along with author signings.

Brides-to-be should attend Philadelphia Flower Show's Bridal Day to enjoy free lectures and demonstrations on everything from centrepieces to buttonholes.
