Walking with Giants!

Tuesday, March 6 & Wednesday, March 7

There’s magic in the Philadelphia Flower Show’s Ealain Wood (pronounced ay-lee-anne). Here, amidst gigantic trees, are thousands of daffodils often found in Ireland, such as ‘Verona’, ‘ Broughshane’, and ‘Birthday Girl’.

Show visitors are also amazed at the height of the towering trees. Said one amazed Show-goer, “I can’t even see their tops!”

Like gourmet cuisine? We do, too. So come to the Flower Show’s Culinary demonstrations—located on the Bridge Concourse—to see celebrity chefs in action (such as James Cranmer of Acme Markets, seen here).

Presented by The Art Institute of Philadelphia, these mouth-watering events will teach you plenty of new tricks in the kitchen. Better yet, they’re FREE! Click here for dates and times.

Here is 4-year-old Airianna having fun in the willow-branch tunnel at the Camden Children’s Garden display. Kids (and their parents) enjoy searching around this exhibit for hidden faerie houses hanging from trees and tucked into nooks ’n’ crannies.

Mike Devlin and his team—which includes several high-school students from Camden, New Jersey —take great pride in their fun-filled display. Look for it in the “Know It” section of Hall B.

“Pretty in Pink” is the theme for Lamsback Floral Decorators’ display, located in Hall A. Here, you’ll find wrought-iron trellises sporting with magenta carnations, as well as sophisticated table-top flower arrangements of orchids and French tulips.

Says Show visitor Jeanne Smith, with a grin, “I’m going home and giving my dining room a total pink makeover. And I don’t care what my husband says about it!”

The Garden Club of Philadelphia has won a blue ribbon in the Arbors class (in the “Show It” section of Hall B). Their divine, Irish-themed arbor is festooned with dozens of spring-blooming flowers.

Say the enthusiastic judges, “You’ve created a grand finale with your blending of colors and attention to detail.”
