Every year, when the flower show comes to Philadelphia, for whatever reason, sales are always slow for us at Belvedere Flowers. With that being said, it's OK, it gives us a chance to take a day off and go to the Philadelphia Flower Show! Below you will find this years 2009 theme and also ticket prices.
Guests will take a luxurious stroll through displays that depict the famed flower fields of San Remo, past the sparkling canals of Venice and fashionable runways of Milan. They’ll stand in awe of formal gardens reminiscent of ancient Rome, and become enraptured by scenes of the bountiful Tuscan countryside and the inspirational artwork of Florence. From the exotic paradise of the Italian Riviera and Lake region in the North to Italy’s sunny retreats to the South, the Flower Show will embrace Italy in breathtaking displays.
This year’s Show will offer the most innovative ideas and trends in floral and garden design. It will be a unique event for the senses and an uplifting experience for the heart.
“It’s about the allure of Italy, the artistry, and the passion.”
—Flower Show Designer
