Holland: Flowering the World
March 11 - 19, 2017

The 2017 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show will showcase the extraordinary plants, creativity and talent of this region’s top horticulturists and designers along with award winning landscape and floral designers from the Netherlands.

The Flower Show is a top destination and “must experience” horticultural event, attracting 250,000 visitors annually to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, a showcase of excellence that dates back to 1829.

From towering windmills, wooden shoes and delectable cheeses, to the whimsical bicycles, canals and vibrant tulip fields of the iconic Dutch landscape, the 2017 Flower Show will share the diverse stories of horticulture, innovative eco-design, and modern urban greening and sustainability efforts of the Netherlands.

Location:
Pennsylvania Convention Center

I'm pretty sure Aspenhill and I are going, and if my daughter comes along we'll be there Sunday & the first half of Monday (March 12-13) since Monday is only a half-day of school for her.

I'd love to know who else will be there on those days... we could cruise part of the show together, meet for lunch, etc.

Hurray!
We're all learners, doers, teachers.

We aren't going. It is sad because we really wanted to, but Lonnie has had pneumonia twice this year and isn't over it yet. The doctor said today that we can't go anywhere crowded for a year.

Yikes. Health first, for sure! Terri & I have canceled plans before when one or both of us were sick, so I get it. Maybe you can come to the spring plant swap? It's in southern NJ, just over the Delaware Bridge. Not the same magnitude of crowd as the Flower Show! Information is at the top of the Mid-Atlantic Forum (where you need to hang out anyway! :-)

Trying to figure out how to plan around the snow... ironically, we were originally planning to attend Sunday and Monday but changed to Tuesday and Wednesday because of the snow we didn't get after all this weekend!

We can arrive before the snow gets bad, but will we be able to get from the airport hotel to the convention center? Or do we change to a more expensive and closer hotel so we can walk to the show? Either way we're rolling the dice on whether they'll just close the show on Tuesday -- I have no idea how to judge that and can't seem to find any "what if" information from PHS
