"Holland: Flowering The World" is the theme for this year's Show, which will showcase the extraordinary plants, creativity and talent of this region’s top horticulturists and designers along with award winning landscape and floral
designers from the Netherlands.
From towering windmills, wooden shoes and delectable cheeses, to the whimsical bicycles, canals and vibrant tulip fields of the iconic Dutch landscape, the 2017 Flower Show will share the diverse stories of horticulture, innovative eco-design,
and modern urban greening and sustainability efforts of the Netherlands.
The world’s oldest and largest indoor event of its kind, the Philadelphia Flower Show draws more than 260,000 people to Center City and ushers in the spring season every year. After viewing the beautiful displays you can grab a bite to eat at the nearby Reading Terminal Market before we depart for the day at 5pm.
The adult registration fee is $63/person with options for a student and youth rate. In addition, we are offering a "bus only" rate for those who would like to visit historic Philadelphia. Your registration includes transportation on a Martz motor coach, light refreshments and group rate admission to the Flower Show. Registration must be completed by Friday, February 17th to receive the reduced admission fee.
