PHS wizarding world of flowers

The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has recently unveiled the theme of the 2024 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show: United by Flowers. The 195th PHS Philadelphia Flower Show will be held from March 2-10, 2024 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. This event is without a doubt one of the most popular and renowned in the flower industry and is a must if you're going to be there in March.

The Philadelphia Flower Show Will Be United by Flowers in 2024

The Philadelphia Flower Show is the nation’s largest and longest-running horticultural event and fundraiser featuring stunning displays by the world’s premier floral, garden, and landscape designers. This year's theme, 'United by Flowers,' honors the distinct and colorful community that grew out of the shared love and appreciation for gardening, as well as the connections and impact they have on many people's lives.

Furthermore, 'United by Flowers' is a celebration of the community that blooms each spring at the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, where hundreds of thousands of people from the region, East Coast, and around the world come together for a week-long magnification of gardening's transformative power. In this fragmented world of constantly changing landscapes, everyone who participates - from exhibitors and competitors to artisans and guests - brings their passion and enthusiasm to the Pennsylvania Convention Center to help co-create this one-of-a-kind event that proudly displays this vibrant and colorful collective.

"In a world where loneliness has become an epidemic, the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show brings people together to connect over their shared love of gardening and floral beauty. It is a place where magic happens, and where people from all walks of life come together as one. This growing community represents the essence of United by Flowers."
