Articulture at the 2014 Philly Flower Show

Mar 8

Back from the Philadelphia Flower Show. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, the theme this year was Articulture, where art meets horticulture.

The show was as crowded as ever. Interest in gardening must be a common denominator. Attendees ranged from the very young in strollers to the very old on walkers. People from the wealthy 1% and the rest of us 99%. There were master gardeners touting their gardening feats and novices proclaiming their latest kill. I got to examine this melting pot as I waited in line to view of one of my favorite annual exhibitions- the window display contest.

This years contestants were inspired by the arts and their displays were all quite inventive. I thought I'd share these window arrangements today, but I'll be back soon with more highlights from the flower show.

Never know who you'll run into at the art supply store.
