A portion of Filbert Street near 12th Street was covered in sod.

"We made beautiful flower crowns that are just celebrating Spring, and I think they are a great accessory to our Winter outfits to bring in the Spring weather," said one attendee.
The Philadelphia Flower Show will take place at the Convention Center March 5th through March 13th, where this year's show will celebrate National Parks.
