2026 Philadelphia Flower Show to celebrate history and traditions of American gardening
In just a few weeks, the Philadelphia Flower Show will bloom inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Ahead of the annual celebration of all things flowers, plants and gardening, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society revealed several renderings of this year's exhibits and events.
The theme for the 2026 show is "Rooted: Origins of American Gardening," and will bring to life "the personal stories, cultural traditions, and horticultural inspiration that connect us to plants, each other, and shape how we garden today," the PHS says.
This year's flower show, which coincides with America's 250th birthday, will also celebrate the people, places and legacies that have shaped gardening throughout the history of the country.
"We are America's garden capital, with more public gardens than any other place in America, and America's oldest botanical garden, Bartram's Garden in southwest Philly," said Pennsylvania Horticultural Society President Matt Rader. "This is the home of American horticulture, and the flower show is our invitation to the world to join us here."
The 197th Philadelphia Flower Show runs from Feb. 28 through March 8. Tickets are available to purchase online.
