The 2027 Philadelphia Flower Show will run March 13-21 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, featuring over 30 major exhibitors and exploring how plants and gardens have influenced art, fashion, food and other forms of creative expression. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society announced the theme 'Iconic' on Wednesday, with the annual event being the 198th show.
For the first time, five public gardens from across Pennsylvania will create displays together in a showcase: Chanticleer Garden, Longwood Gardens, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Pittsburgh Botanic Garden and Penn State University's arboretum. The exhibition also includes the Hamilton Horticourt featuring competitive growers and artists, botanical art, floral competitions and a marketplace selling plants and gardening supplies.
Seth Pearsoll, creative director for the Flower Show, said the theme recognises gardening's 'remarkable ability to evolve while remaining relevant'. He noted that examples include Claude Monet's 'Water Lilies' paintings, William Morris' botanical textiles and floral prints in fashion. The show runs March 13-21 following a members' preview on March 12, with adult tickets starting at $45 online. An after-hours party will take place on Saturday, March 20.
