I've been waiting for the Philadelphia International Flower Show this year; so many of my friends have gone in the past and I've heard it's spectacular but, I just never had the chance to go. Now that I'm living in the city I can walk to the show and I can go as often as I like.
I never realized just how big an event this is. This year's theme is Springtime in Paris, I'm sure it will be breathtaking.
There are 150 free gardening presentations held throughout the week, as well as dozens of educational displays that explore the newest gardening trends. Over 180 vendors selling garden furniture, one-of-a-kind plant containers, hand-crafted jewelry, specialty foods, cut flowers, unique plants and garden tools, and tons more. On Thursday, March 10th there will be a Live Broadcast at the Show, QVC hosts Jonathan Redford and Antonella Nester will be on site hosting a live show from 1 pm - 2 pm and 8 pm - 9 pm.
I plan to take my time browsing and taking lots of pictures. I'd like to buy a nice floor plant for our new place here in the city and maybe some ideas for our terrace. I'd like to sit in on a few of the educational presentations and learn a few things about flower arranging or maybe I'll find out what vertical gardening is? There are so many different lectures I'll have to decide which ones are for me.
I'll post again after I've been to the show and I'll tell you all about it.
