The Flower Show

The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society uses horticulture to advance the health and well-being of the Greater Philadelphia region.


PHS uses horticulture to increase four building blocks of health and well-being: access to fresh food, healthy living environments, deep social connections, and economic opportunities. We are a diverse community of people and organizations who believe in the power of horticulture to make positive social and environmental change. PHS believes that gardening and horticulture belong to everyone.

  • "When I walk to work, I realize I know almost every tree. Year after year, there is more involvement from people defending the trees and caring for them. It went from something people were resisting to something that brings people together."

    Leader of the Graduate Hospital West Tree Tenders

    “I went to the Flower Show for years, admiring the entries and displays, then it dawned on me that I could bring my plants and have them judged in the competition. It brings me so much satisfaction knowing that I brought something to the Show that is appreciated, noticed, and gives excitement to those who see it.”

    Flower Show Exhibitor

  • “I’m motivated to stay involved with PHS because of the multifaceted ways that PHS engages with people in the city by bringing people together to find beauty through horticulture. I give to PHS because it’s my investment in the things I care about.”
