2009 Philadelphia Flower Show

"Bella Italia" - March 1 through March 8

SEPTA is a great way to travel to the Convention Center for the Flower Show and avoid the hefty parking fees and traffic congestion of Center City Philadelphia, while helping save the environment. The Philadelphia Flower Show is considered the premier gardening event of its kind due in large part to the exceptional talent of the designers and their ability to exhibit such a great variety of exceptional plants for the show.
