THE PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW COMMITTEE

The committee promotes member participation in the annual Philadelphia Flower Show, provides guidance and encouragement to Members exhibiting in the flower shows and executes Club-sponsored exhibit in the show. The committee works to encourage Members to become involved in the show as volunteers and exhibitors.

The Philadelphia Flower Show, started in 1829 by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, introduces the public to thousands of plants, gardens, and design concepts. As the nation’s largest and longest-running horticultural event, the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show is a stunning and educational look at the world of floral design and gardening. PHS is firmly committed to building upon the grandeur of these designs to explore the use of organic and sustainable gardening practices.

The 2025 Philadelphia Flower Show, the nation's largest and the world’s longest-running horticultural event, will be held indoors at the PA Convention Center from March 1-9, 2025.

Please consider engaging with the show either as an exhibitor or as a volunteer.
