PHILADELPHIA - The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Monday announced tickets to the 2021 Philadelphia Flower Show, June 513, are now available for purchase at PHSonline.org.
To allow for social distance protocols, a limited number of tickets will be available for each day and time segment. Early purchase is highly recommended. Attendees are asked to select their preferred date and session at the time of purchase.
Given the pandemic, the move will allow PHS to present the show safely, at the height of the gardening season and with the added health benefits of the outdoors. The central location, situated adjacent to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, is accessible to major highways and mass transit. FDR Park features inspiring natural beauty and an expansive setting that also provides show designers with an exciting new layout for creative expression and horticultural displays. Visitors will experience the show through three distinct districts that feature all manner of plants, design, and gardening created for all skill levels.
The Flower Show will span 15 acres of the park's 348 acres parallel to Pattison Avenue.
We are thrilled to be able to celebrate the outdoors and offer joy and beauty after a year that has been marked by so many challenges. This experience is a wonderful example of the enduring and combined power of green space, plants, and gardeners to create impact and inspiration, PHS Chief of Shows & EventsSam Lemheney said.
FDR Park, a registered historical district, was built to the design of Olmsted Brothers, the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. and John Charles Olmsted, in the early 20th century. With walkable pathways, majestic trees and breathtaking views, FDR Park is an inspiring venue that contributes to the splendor that the Flower Show is known for.
