2019 Philadelphia Flower Show - Flower Power

The theme for the 2019 Philadelphia Flower Show is "Flower Power."
Come with us to explore and enjoy the power of flowers.

The Flower Power ideals of the 1960s and 1970s guide the designs, competitions, and events in this year's show. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society opened its first flower show in 1829. Join OLLI for the trip to Philadelphia to experience the 2019 version of one of the nation's largest and longest-running flower shows.
