2016 Philadelphia Flower Show

This past weekend I went to the Annual Philadelphia Flower show. The show is presented by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and is the largest & longest running horticultural event in the country! It was started in 1829!!

This years theme was “Explore America,” in celebration of 100 years of the National Park Service. There were park rangers and small exhibits of different National Parks all around the country.

 

Here I am with the Liberty Bell made out of flowers. Behind it was a wall with a passage from the Declaration of Independence, which was signed in Philadelphia.

 

I made a Penn State friend!


 

Here I met some gnomies. They were too busy planting flowers to enjoy the show!
