The world-famous Philadelphia Flower Show will be reimagined in 2021. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society announced the show, typically held in March at the convention center, will be held June 5–13, 2021, at Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park in South Philadelphia.

The move to an outdoor venue for the first time in the Philadelphia Flower Show’s history will allow for new, creative expression and horticultural displays, as well as allow for social distancing. The expanded show will cover 15 acres and will showcase both new features as well as cherished elements of the show. The new themed experience will take place within three distinct “Districts,” featuring plants, design and gardening. Philadelphia’s FDR Park was built to the design of the Olmsted Brothers in the early 20^th century.

Attendees must reserve a date and time for all tickets purchased; tickets go on sale in January and early purchase is recommended. On Saturday, June 5, morning entry is 8 a.m.–1 p.m., and evening entry is 1–5 p.m. On the other days, a.m. entry is 10 a.m.–2 p.m., and p.m. is 2–7 p.m.

“We are thrilled to be able to celebrate the outdoors and offer joy and beauty after a year that has been marked by so many challenges,” said Sam Lemheney, chief of shows & events, PHS. “This experience is a wonderful example of the enduring and combined power of green space, plants, and gardeners to create impact and inspiration.”
