The 2024 Philadelphia Flower Show will revolve around a theme of “United by Flowers” when it blooms for its 195th season March 2-10 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society announced Friday.
The world’s biggest and longest-running indoor flower show will celebrate the “colorful community that comes together to share in their love of gardening, flowers, and plants,” PHS officials said in opening ticket sales for the 2024 show.
Seth Pearsoll, PHS’s vice president and creative director, said visitors can expect a massive, immersive, and flower-filled entrance garden, plus large-scale floral creations and gardens designed by florists and garden artists from Philadelphia, the United States, and around the world.
The show’s main features also will return, including the world’s largest houseplant and indoor plant competition, artistic floral exhibits, and a large gardener’s marketplace.
“In a world where loneliness has become an epidemic, the Philadelphia Flower Show brings people together to connect over their shared love of gardening and floral beauty,” Pearsoll said. “It is a place where magic happens, and where people from all walks of life come together as one.”
The show returned to its usual end-of-winter home inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center, 12th and Arch streets, Philadelphia, last March after two years of COVID-19-induced June shows outside at the city’s FDR Park in 2021 and 2022.
