From the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Seth Pearsoll, VP and Creative Director of the Philadelphia Flower Show, discussed the 2025 edition, Gardens of Tomorrow and Entrance Garden, “Futura Florentia.” He explains Gardens of Tomorrow will showcase the power of plants, sustainability, and innovation. We talked about PHS, founded in 1827, to advance the health and well-being of the Greater Philadelphia region. Started in 1829 the Flower Show showcases diverse and sustainable plant varieties and garden and design concepts across acres of garden displays as well as world-renowned competitions in horticulture and artistic floral arranging, gardening presentations and demonstrations, and special events. As a fundraiser, the Flower Show supports PHS programming that creates healthier living environments, increases access to fresh food and provides jobs and work programs for youth and the formerly incarcerated. PHS works in over 250 neighborhoods in a network of public gardens and landscapes with year-round programming that includes the Tree Tenders, putting trees to cool and beautify neighborhoods, planting public gardens in vacant lots and delivering horticulture programs to schools. Now in its 196th year, The PHS Philadelphia Flower Show is the premiere horticultural event of its kind in the United States and one of the world’s most recognized, drawing exhibitors and visitors from around the globe and pumping over 65 million into the city economy. In addition to the professional exhibitors, local high school and college horticulturists from Lankenau High School Mercer County Community College, The Lakeside School, Temple University and Delaware Valley University will offer future-focused environmental and sustainability displays. For the first time, the Flower Show will feature a student-created floral exhibition by Bucks County Community College’s Floral Design Program. The educational lecture series, Know to Grow, returns with industry experts leading presentations on topics including garden design, vegetable gardening, native plants, container gardening, shade gardening and houseplants. Great Grow Along - the world’s largest virtual garden festival, will present a gardening experts and authors sharing tips, ideas, and inspiration for your home garden. In addition to the Hamilton Court juried plant competition and the vendor marketplace there will be special activities through the week. At Artisan Row guests can work side-by-side with 8 artisans to create fresh floral crowns, Flower Show candles, custom scents, fresh and dried bouquets, terrariums, hand painted vases, botanical jewelry, custom hats, bags and more. Butterflies Live! returns with a butterfly kiosk shop at the end. Families can enjoy the free Kids Cocoon, a kid-focused play space in partnership with The Franklin Institute where they can plant seedlings, enjoy story time, and participate in activities 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, excluding Sunday, March 9. Kids Cocoon will feature a Flower Show-themed version of TFI's Creation Station, where children can create floral-inspired masterpieces using LEGO® bricks. At Bloom Bar and pop-up Bloom Bar carts you can purchase pre-assembled, fresh floral crowns in the heart of the Show floor. At Family Frolic Sunday, March 2 there will be hands-on activities and entertainment for families with programming and activities in partnership with museums, nonprofits, and universities; Blossom and Breathe on Friday, March 7 with wellness vendors and yoga in a botanical bazaar, and the popular Flowers After Hours after-hours dance party Saturday, March 8! They invite you to dress in your boldest, most eccentric best, and enjoy alien encounter photo ops, galaxy-inspired cocktails, and a space fashion show. Plus, music will be curated by SNACKTIME, the live band for “They Call it Late Night” with Jason Kelce on ESPN, and DJs: Muhammad Carr, Lady B and Touchtone, and Val Fleury.

The 2025 Philadelphia Flower Show is themed “Gardens of Tomorrow.” Seth Pearsoll, President and Creative Director of the flower show says they wanted the event to be timeless. The event is set to take place from March 1-9 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. “We like all of the different people who create something with us There's thousands of them. We want them to have something they can get excited about and do their thing at the show And then we also want the show to be kind of slightly referencing something that's happening in the world in this case We wanted to remind people that If you're a gardener if you're a plant lover if you like botanicals You're kind of in a field that's helping to make the world a better place to give you something to look forward to So gardens of tomorrow.” The Entrance Garden, “Futura Florentia” sets the tone for visitors.

Send us a textThis week on 2 Fat Guys Talking Flowers, we're joined by the delightful and super-talented Renee Tucci, AIFD, PFCI, AAF! She's not only a floral design powerhouse but a true advocate for the power of positivity and education. Renee takes us on a journey through her career—from getting her degree in ornamental horticulture to pivoting from designer to manager and, eventually, finding her calling as an educator.In 2019, Renee went all in on freelancing, wrote a book, and started teaching floral design classes that have ignited a spark in countless future designers. Now, as a passionate educator at Bucks County Community College, she's shaping the next generation of Certified Floral Designers (CFD), with a special AIFD track to boot!But wait, there's more! Renee's also the President-Elect of AIFD, a volunteer with SAF's Awards Committee, and she's organizing her students to showcase their talent at the legendary Philadelphia Flower Show. Oh, and did we mention her social media series, Vitamin F? It's all about the mental health benefits of flowers, because we could all use a little more bloom in our lives.Renee shares how she balances her packed calendar, her commitment to her students, and how she's spreading positive vibes all around. Plus, Ryan pitches the idea of a Tucci TV segment (we're here for it,!). Tune in for a fresh dose of floral feel-good energy, and a whole lot of inspiration!  

Catalogue descriptions for new plants may grab our attention, but usually provide little useful information about how these up-and-coming cultivars will perform in your garden. Fortunately, comparative trials like those conducted at Chicago Botanic Garden and Mt. Cuba Center put plants to the test, side-by-side, under typical garden conditions. In this episode, Richard Hawke and Sam Hoadley delve into a few of the similarities and differences between their trial programs. They compare notes, trade stories, and dispel a few misconceptions as they prepare for the talk they will give on Thurday, March 6th, 2025 as part of the Know to Grow lecture series at the Philadelphia Flower Show.    See more by going to the show notes at https://www.finegardening.com/podcast  

Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and W. EB Dubois are some of the many recognizable names of an intellectual cultural and artistic period in American history known as the Harlem Renaissance. This week, CP Guest Host Abra Lee is in conversation with Reverend Jerri Mitchell-Lee. They enjoy a deep dive into the history of Effie Lee Newsome, another highly respected writer - and gardener - of the Harlem Renaissance. Reverend Mitchell-Lee shares more about this undersung American literary and garden figure from her unique familial perspective: Effie is her beloved great aunt. Effie Lee Newsome was a quintessential multi-hyphenate: she was an artist, nature writer, gardener, author, naturalist, birder, and favorite poet of the Harlem Renaissance elite. Through her groundbreaking children's book, Gladiola Garden: Poems of Outdoors and Indoors (The Associated Publishers, 1940), she became a powerful piece in the puzzle of not only the Harlem Renaissance but also American garden history. In June of 2022, a class of Landscape Architecture Students from Auburn University used the poetry and plants of Effie Lee Newsome as their inspiration for an award-winning display garden at the Philadelphia Flower Show. Reverend Mitchell-Lee is an accomplished writer, author, and businesswoman. She has a passion for serving and continues to do so as a health educator, mental health counselor, and workshop trainer. She received her education at Sterling College, University of Kansas, Rutgers University of Medicine and Dentistry, Howard School of Theology, and Newark School of Theology. Listen in!

The first sign of Spring is not seeing a Robin on your front lawn but the Philadelphia Flowers Show! Today on Bloomers in the Garden we have Special Guest Seth Pearsoll the Creative Director & Vice President of the Philadelphia Flower Show. This Year the Philadelphia Flower Show is again being held indoors at the Philadelphia Convention Center. The theme for 2024  is: "United By Flowers". I found the theme's association with the "Loneliness Epidemic" incredibly interesting.  Seth was quoted “I always think of the Flower Show as something best done with somebody else.” Yes!! The perfect date night!! This is the 195th Year for the Philadelphia flower show. It has an incredible history and is in fact the longest running indoor flower show in the world!! Seth will give us inside information on how to get the most out of this year's Flower Show!

Matt Radar, President of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society discussed the 195th Philadelphia Flower Show, the nation's first and the world's largest indoor flower exhibition March 2 through March 10 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.  We discussed the impact of the show which is expected to pump 60 million dollars into the local economy through hotels, restaurants, transportation and other local attractions, it also serves as an inducement for international travel to the Philadelphia region. This year's theme is United By Flowers and he described the installations that will be presented, new designers, the largest water feature ever on display, and more international participants.  We talked about the programming this event supports; this is the biggest fundraiser of the year for PHS.  Matt talked about the community gardens that supply fresh produce, Tree Tenders that plants trees that lower neighborhood temperatures and provide shade, and their vacant lot rescues that actually lowers crime numbers and adds to home values.   It also funds programming that maintains the city parks and boulevard plantings and underwrites their Work Force Development that teaches low income and the formerly incarcerated participants horticultural and job skills. He notes they have a 90% job placement record for its graduates.  We discussed volunteers, over 3,000 are used to produce the show, plus all year they need tree tenders and gardeners to plant, clear and maintain public plantings.  Matt invites everyone to come and enjoy the show, there is something for everybody, from interior and patio décor, flowers, bulbs, furnishings and floral art, with class and demos for large projects and window boxes, plus special events such as Member's Day and the Preview Gala March 1st, family Frolic day on March 3rd, Fido Friday March 8th and the Flowers  After Hours dance party March 9th.   He encouraged us to become members to enjoy discounts and the member's lounge at the show and special programming throughout the year.  For more information about membership, programming and The Philadelphia Flower Show go to PHSonline.org
