The Philadelphia Horticultural Society will host its annual flower show March 1 – March 9 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.  The preview party will take place February 28 at 7 pm, for those who are interested in seeing the show without the crowds. Experience the combination of art and horticulture as the 185th PHS Philadelphia Flower Show celebrates everyone from Michelangelo to Monet, Picasso to Pollock, and da Vinci to Dali. ARTiculture will be unveiled March 1, 2014. Art and horticulture are part of a mutual admiration society that has been played out across centuries by the Masters both gardeners and artists. Whether in a Wyeth landscape or a sweeping vista of bulbs blooming in colorful combinations, inspiration flows from both worlds to create a masterpiece on canvas and on the land.

PHS is proud to partner with more than a dozen museums for ARTiculture, where art meets horticulture. Visit the websites of these extraordinary places and, if at all possible, visit in person as well. There’s no better way to prep for the Flower Show than by immersing yourself in the wonderful world of art.
