Information for Vendors
 The Philadelphia Flower Show is always looking for new gardening-related products to enhance the experience of our visitors. If you think your company fits this criteria see below for an online application and guidelines for the invitation process.
Marketplace Participation
Participation is by invitation only. Demand for retail space exceeds our available space. As a result, applications are kept on file for three years from the date we receive them.
Applications are accepted year-round.
If a current vendor is unable to return after the initial invitations have gone out (at the end of July), space becomes available allowing us to invite new vendors for participation.
Marketplace Guidelines
Our process for new vendor selection begins with product review. First consideration for space is given to vendors who feature a product or product line that is horticultural in nature or garden-related in the following five categories:
- Horticulture (Plants, Bulbs, Cut Flowers, Herbs, Dried Flowers)
- Garden Accessories (Outdoor Furniture, Garden Art, Tools & Accessories)
- Home Accessories (Décor for Home featuring flowers or of Horticultural Origin or Function)
- Botanical Art (Original Paintings, Prints, Pressed Flower Art)
- Jewelry (Featuring Floral Designs)
Applications for silk, plastic or any artificial flowers, or any apparel including shirts, tee shirts, sweatshirts, sleepwear, jackets, dresses, trousers, shorts, textiles or handbags ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
