A South Philadelphia park will be transformed into a garden paradise of flowers, trees and other plants for 10 days as the first Philadelphia Flower Show ever to be held outdoors kicks off on Saturday, June 5.
More than 75 exhibitors (39 of those major exhibitors) – the highest number ever to display at the show will occupy 15 acres of historic Franklin D. Roosevelt Park at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue near the pro-sports complex in South Philadelphia.
They are there to interpret the 2021 show’s theme: Habitat: Nature’s Masterpiece.
The nonprofit Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the show sponsor, decided last year to hold this year’s event outside as a public safety measure in response to the coronavirus pandemic that has limited indoor gatherings for more than a year.
