For its 197th year, the Philadelphia Flower Show has returned to the Pennsylvania Convention Center with a unique theme of "Rooted: Origins of American Gardening." This iconic event remains the largest and longest-running horticultural show in the nation, attracting enthusiasts from all over the country.
As visitors step into the Pennsylvania Convention Center, they will be immersed in an incredible world of flowers, plants, and design. The show's entrance garden, "The Forest Floor," sets the tone with its unique blend of Japanese Zen elements, Scottish mist, and American design influences, featuring twisting root structures, layered plantings, and water features.
Inside the convention center, attendees will find a vast array of exhibits showcasing hundreds of competition entries across various plant species and floral design categories. The PHS Hamilton Hortourt is home to award-winning work from amateur and professional growers, providing an up-close look at the artistry and skill involved in creating these stunning displays.
Beyond the exhibits, visitors can engage with creative workshops and sessions. Artisan Row offers guided sessions where attendees can craft their own floral crowns, terrariums, candles, and bouquets, while Potting Parties allow visitors to build a container garden or floral arrangement with Tu Bloom, the official botanical artist of the Grammy Awards.
In addition to these hands-on activities, the show features numerous tours and educational programs. Early Morning Tours and Photography Tours provide guided access to exhibits before public hours, while the "Know to Grow" speaker series covers topics from heirloom gardens and pollinators to sustainable design. At Plant People Place, visitors can explore specialty plants and ask horticulture experts questions.
The Marketplace in F Hall offers a range of live plants, décor, and garden goods, as well as the Makers Market in the Grand Hall, highlighting handcrafted items from regional artisans. Visitors can also shop for official merchandise at the PHS Shop or create their own floral crowns at the Bloom Bar near the main entrance.
The Philadelphia Flower Show is not just a showcase of flowers and design but also a celebration of community and connection. The show features various special events, including "Butterflies Live!", Kids Cocoon, Family Frolic, and exclusive adult-only events like Flowers After Hours.
With tickets starting at $20 for children and $43 on weekdays, the event is inclusive to all ages and interests. Prices vary depending on the day of attendance, with discounted twilight admission available after 4 pm.
The Philadelphia Flower Show runs daily from February 28 through March 8, with a closing time of 6 p.m. on the final day. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has made tickets available online, ensuring that visitors can plan their visit in advance.

it's literally been around for 197 yrs lol so much history & knowledge to soak in. i love how they're incorporating art & design elements into the exhibits, it makes the whole experience feel super immersive & interactive. the fact that they have workshops & tours too is amazing, like u can even learn how to make yer own floral crowns 
and get expert advice on gardening & sustainability. plus, the prices are pretty reasonable considering it's a world-class event 
. i'm def gonna be there this year with my fam 
, we'll be making it a fun family outing!
and I'm thinking, isn't this what we need more of? Some me-time in nature, you know? The whole "Rooted" theme sounds really interesting - all about American gardening history... it's like a big ol' time capsule. And those workshops sound like so much fun! 
Who wouldn't want to make their own floral crown or terrarium? It's great they're including something for the kids too, I remember when my grandkids were little we always loved going to these kinds of events...
! I mean, who wouldn't want to spend a whole week surrounded by gorgeous flowers and greenery? But seriously, it's not just about admiring the beauty – it's also a celebration of community and connection. I love that they have events like "Butterflies Live!" and Kids Cocoon, which make it accessible to all ages and interests 
. And can we talk about the creative workshops and sessions? Crafting your own floral crowns and terrariums sounds like so much fun! 
every time i go to buy some plants or stuff for my garden it's like a zoo in there 
cant even move without bumping into someone trying to sell me something 
and what's up with the prices tho? $43 on weekdays is insane 
i mean i know its the flower show but come on ppl have better things to spend their money on 
I'm so down for this yr's Philly flower show!! 
! The forest floor exhibit sounds hella Instagrammable 
and the workshops on floral crowns & terrariums? Mmmm yessss, I'm totes in 
. And can we talk about the marketplace tho?! 
They've got live plants, décor, garden goods... it's like a dream come true for plant ppl! 
The prices r pretty reasonable too, 20 bucks 4 kids & 43 on weekdays? Lowkey impressd 
. And they've got events 4 all ages, from butterfly exhibits 2 family frolics 
... I'm lowkey planning to bring the squad rn! 
I mean come on, a whole convention center full of flowers and plants? It's like they took all my wildest dreams and put them in one place! The way it describes the entrance garden as "twisting root structures, layered plantings, and water features" gives me LIFE, you know? And the fact that there are workshops where I can make my own floral crowns and terrariums is just the cherry on top. I need to get myself to Philly ASAP! 
️ They're also doing events for kids and adults only, which is a great touch. It's not just about looking at pretty flowers, it's about community and connection too. And can we talk about how affordable it is? Like, $20 for kids? That's amazing. I'm totes going 
. It's not just about admiring beautiful flowers, but also learning from talented growers and creatives. And OMG, who wouldn't want to build their own terrarium or floral crown 
Kids Cocoon and Family Frolic are a great way to make the event more inclusive for families with little ones. I'm definitely getting tickets for this 
... how about you?!
the best part? it's not just for florals enthusiasts, they got events for kids, adults, and even a makers market with local artisans 
? But what really gets me excited is that it's not just a pretty face (literally). The show has so many educational programs, workshops, and special events that cater to all ages and interests. Like, who wouldn't want to explore specialty plants with horticulture experts or shop for handcrafted items at the Makers Market? 
. It's like, $20 for kids? That's not super cheap, especially if you're just gonna be there for a few hours. And on weekdays it's even more pricey... what's the point of that? Can't they just make it $10-$15 all around or something? And btw, can we please get rid of these silly discounts? "Twilight admission" sounds like some marketing nonsense to me 
. Plus, it's not just for flower enthusiasts, they've got something for everyone, from kids to adults. I'm planning on taking the fam and we'll all be there together 
. And, omg, the Marketplace is going to be a goldmine for my interior design skills 
I'm so excited the Philly Flower Show is back! Like, who needs work when you've got flowers and design? The whole "Rooted" theme is actually kinda deep, it's like, our gardens are just a reflection of our roots... or something 
. But seriously, it's gonna be lit with all the competition entries and workshops. I mean, I'm low-key tempted to build my own terrarium or floral crown 
. The prices seem pretty reasonable too, especially with discounted twilight admission. It's great that they're making tickets available online so we can plan ahead 
. Can't wait to see what the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has in store for us this year!
