While there are many wonderful and memorable details that accompany the cold of winter – warm family gatherings around a fire, hot chocolate, hearty stews – everyone has their limit. And just when the winter doldrums might have you desperately craving a very much absent vibrant burst of floral color from the landscaped Main Line garden… enter majestic landscapes at the 2016 Philadelphia Flower Show.
From March 5-13 of 2016, you can satiate yourself with vivid color and saturate yourself in breathtaking displays, stunning walkways, brilliant artistic structures and professionally hosted workshops – all enabling you to hang on till seasonal springtime color starts to appear in the natural environment.
The Philadelphia Flower Show 2016 Show theme is entitled “Explore America” and it is all about celebrating a century of the National Park Service. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and the National Park Service share important common goals including a commitment to “…introduce new generations to the beauty of nature, to be good stewards of our environment, to honor the contributions of individuals to our history, and to build vibrant communities…”.
