Final weekend to see the 2020 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show
This is the last weekend to enjoy the 2020 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
The Entrance Garden takes you to the French Riviera as you walk through it. From the soaring archways filled with Mediterranean flowers, to a long citrus-filled walkway, to a bridge filled with succulents, the Flower Show entrance is picture-perfect. 50-foot high olive trees greet you along with the scents of lavender and rosemary. You may even see a garden nymph or other performers to welcome you.
Princess Grace Rose Garden The Embassy of Monaco in Washington, DC commemorates HRH Princess Grace (Philadelphia’s Grace Kelly), her Philadelphia roots, and her passion for flowers by sponsoring the Princess Grace Rose Garden. The 3,000-plus rose exhibit was designed by Renee Tucci who was inducted into the American Institute of Floral Designers in 2016. The exhibit pays homage to Princess Grace with Grimaldi family roses and fresh cut garden rose arrangements surrounding a replica of Princess Grace’s wedding dress.
PHS Home Gardening Hub The Home Gardening Hub is a source of information and learning at the Flower Show featuring a Garden Chat area for live demonstrations, presentations, and discussions on home gardening subjects from PHS professionals and others. Speakers can answer questions that visitors have about their home gardens.
Three garden demonstrations will be stationed at the Hub – one focused on growing food, one focused on waterwise gardening, and one focused on creating a beautiful and wildlife friendly habitat. These gardens will also feature 2020 PHS Gold Medal Plants.
