“United by Flowers” is the theme for the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 2024 Philadelphia Flower Show.
The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) recently announced the eagerly awaited theme for the 2024 Philadelphia Flower Show: “United by Flowers.” Set to take place from March 2 to 10, 2024, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, this 195th edition promises to be a spectacular event, symbolizing the unity and shared passion for gardening, flowers, and plants.
At its core, “United by Flowers” represents a celebration of the diverse community that gathers annually to share their love for horticulture. This year’s show is a tribute to the vibrant and transformative power of gardening. It honors the individuals who form the heart of the Flower Show: from professional designers setting trends, to amateur competitors vying for blue ribbons, and from fashion-forward floral enthusiasts to families and friends who have made this event an annual tradition signaling the arrival of Spring.
Seth Pearsoll, Vice President and Creative Director of PHS, eloquently captured the essence of this year’s theme. He highlighted the Flower Show as a remedy to the epidemic of loneliness, a place where people from varied backgrounds unite over their shared love of gardening and floral beauty. This growing community, he notes, is the true embodiment of “United by Flowers.”
The Philadelphia Flower Show serves as PHS’s primary fundraiser. Renowned for its breathtaking visual displays, world-class plant competitions, and a range of family activities, artisanal crafts, educational offerings, and curated shopping, the show is a pinnacle of horticultural excellence.
This year’s features include an expansive, immersive entrance garden showcasing a stunning amalgamation of colorful plants and flowers. Visitors can expect large-scale floral creations and gardens crafted by some of the most talented florists and garden artists from Philadelphia and beyond, all curated and judged by globally renowned horticultural experts. The show will also host the world’s largest houseplant and indoor plant competition, welcoming entries from a vast community of professional and amateur horticulturists. This competition is a testament to the shared passion for plants, allowing visitors to learn about and marvel at an array of impressive flora.
Alongside these new attractions, perennial fan favorites like artistic floral exhibits, curated shopping, and elevated crafting experiences will continue to delight attendees.
To enhance the visitor experience, the 2024 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show introduces a new pricing model. For a limited time, tickets are available at the year’s lowest price. The new structure offers flexibility with various pricing tiers for weekdays, Fridays/weekends, and after 4 pm.
The 2024 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, “United by Flowers,” vividly celebrates the unity and joy that gardening and floral beauty bring to our lives. It’s an invitation to be part of a colorful, thriving community that finds common ground in the love of flowers and plants.
