Flower Show Named in "1,000 Places to See" Book

The world-renowned Philadelphia Flower Show has been included in travel writer Patricia Schultz's latest book, 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. and Canada Before You Die. In 2003, the Show was included in her New York Times bestseller 1,000 Places to see Before you Die.

The original book is the basis of a new reality television show of the same name airing on the Travel Channel.

Established in 1827 as a not-for profit organization, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society is America's first horticultural society, and, in 1829, PHS produced the nation's first flower show. The Philadelphia Flower Show is the nation's oldest and largest indoor flower show.
