RIDGELY, MD – A showcase of excellence that dates back to 1829, the annual Philadelphia Flower Show is a top destination and a “must-experience” horticultural event. On Tuesday, March 3, 2020 join Adkins Arboretum for an unforgettable trip to this year’s show, “Riviera Holiday.”
The 191st show will immerse visitors in the Mediterranean Riviera, with the world’s leading floral and garden designers drawing inspiration from the sights, scents and tastes of the region. Citrus trees and sweeps of lavender will form a vision of Riviera life as visitors explore acres of lush garden landscapes reminiscent of the terraced gardens of Monaco. An esplanade of flowering arches, soft meadows of horticultural perfection and an intoxicating variety of geraniums, spiked salvia, roses, rosemary and sage will create a stunning mosaic that is both picturesque and charming. Ornate pottery, patterned tiles, ornamental fountains and herb parterres will round out the experience and provide irresistible appeal.
Tickets are $95 for Arboretum members and $120 for non-members. The fee includes transportation, driver gratuity and admission to the Flower Show. The bus departs from Aurora Park Drive in Easton at 10 a.m. with additional stops near Wye Mills and Chestertown. Return time is approximately 9 p.m.
The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Philadelphia Flower Show features stunning displays by the world’s premier floral and landscape designers.
