What to Expect at the 2012 Philadelphia International Flower Show

Published on March 3, 2012 by in Horticulture

Late into last night exhibitors were putting the finishing touches on the 2012 Philadelphia International Flower Show. The award judging and preview tours started early this morning, and the Flower Show opens to the public tomorrow, Sunday, March 4 and runs through March 11.

Curious as to what to expect, I went on the media tour Friday night. The theme “Hawaii: Islands of Aloha” is certainly well-represented. Tons of orchids, birds of paradise, giant water features, volcanoes and hula skirts add color to the Pennsylvania Convention Center. There are vendors such as Kremps where you can buy exotic bouquets and landscape exhibitors showing the surfer’s dream gazebo and poolside outdoor kitchen.

A true “culturati” knows that an experience is not complete unless all our senses are appeased. So why not enjoy the sights and smells of the Philadelphia International Flower Show (March 4-11, 2012) and enhance your visit with some Garden Tea at the Flower Show! The serene and elegant floral backdrop is augmented with soothing music and tea for two (or up to five per table). A light and delicious menu of petit sandwiches, pastries, fruit and an assortment of fine teas will be sure to tickle the taste buds.

Published on January 23, 2012 by in Art Exhibition, Museums, Science

If you live in or around Philly, then you may have noticed the billboards announcing ‘Aloha’ to the 2012 Philadelphia International Flower Show. That’s because the world’s largest indoor flower show returns March 4-11, 2012 with –you guessed it—a Hawaiian theme.

Since 1829, this incredible spectacular has transported audiences out of the dreary winter weather into lush, blooming floral experience. With everything from a special appearance of a character from Universal Pictures’ “Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax,” (Sundays, March 4 and 11, from 2-5 p.m.) to food and wine events to a special ‘man cave,’ this year’s flower show features little something for everyone, including specially priced Family Fun Pak
