Flower Show Preview Party
Saturday, February 27, 2010
An
exclusive “black tie” gala, the Preview Party is one
of Philadelphia’s premier social events. Guests from all over
the world enjoy this delightful celebration of the Philadelphia International
Flower Show the night before it opens to the public. Sample
delicious, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and cocktails while strolling
through the beautiful garden displays of the Show. Afterwards, enter
the Grand Ballroom to savor a divine dinner.
We invite you to join us as we honor retiring president, Jane Pepper, at the 2010 Philadelphia International Flower Show on Saturday, February 27. The Show’s theme, Passport to the World, will be a celebration of flowers and plants from around the globe, and the evening will feature a special celebration of Jane’s tenure.
By attending the Preview Party, you will enjoy
a fun and elegant evening, and you will be supporting a good
cause. Revenues from the Preview Party help fund the PHS’s

Green. With more than 2,500 greening projects throughout the
city, Philadelphia Green is the largest comprehensive gardening
