2023 Highlights
In its return indoors to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the 2023 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show features a brand-new layout, inviting guests to view and interact with gardens and flowers up close as they stroll through a winding promenade.
This year’s event also features some of the largest gardens in its history, with several creators designing immersive, 360-degree floral scapes that range in size from 2,200 to 2,900 square feet.

- a sprawling marketplace with more than 100 vendors offering gardening tools and accessories, live plants, hand-crafted items, and
- all-ages learning and crafting activities, including floral-arranging classes and flower crown-making.
