Sam Lemheney

Show Designer of the Philadelphia Flower Show

Sam Lemheney made his debut as Show Designer for the Philadelphia Flower Show in 2005 after working closely with Ed Lindemann (Show Designer from 1980 to 2004), who handed over the reigns designing the largest indoor flower Show in the world.

Sam's life long association with horticulture began with his father and grandfather, both of whom owned and operated flower shops in the region. He began his career at the Walt Disney World® Co. as an intern at the Land Horticulture Science Program in 1989, received a B.S. in Plant Science from the University of Delaware in 1991 and began his full time career at Disney in June of that year, eventually becoming the Area Manager of the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival. Managing the combined talents and energy of the entire Disney's Horticulture staff, Sam organized and coordinated the transformation of the award-winning gardens of Epcot into one of the most exciting flower & garden events in the country. The Festival is a six-week celebration of gardens and gardening including special displays, Disney character topiary and a wide variety of horticulture programs.

Sam is responsible for designing the 2006 Show Enchanted Spring…A Tribute To Mother Nature, while coordinating a floor plan for more than 50 full-scale landscape, floral, artistic and educational displays and 3,000 individual amateur plant entries.
