PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society is using gardens as its muse for its 198th Philadelphia Flower Show.
It announced this year’s theme: “ICONIC.”
PHS said in a statement:
Icons shape culture. They influence how we live and what we create, leaving an imprint across time. Few forces have had that kind of reach through eras and culture quite like the garden. For thousands of years, our relationship with plants has influenced how we live, make, design, eat, and express ourselves. As PHS celebrates its 200th anniversary, the 2027 Philadelphia Flower Show presents ICONIC, a bold celebration of the garden as muse and the extraordinary mark it has left on our creative culture.
ICONIC explores the power of gardening as a source of beauty, sustenance, and inspiration.
All five of the state’s public gardens will have exhibits, including Chanticleer Garden, Longwood Gardens, the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, and The Arboretum at Penn State.
The show runs from March 12 to 21, 2027. Tickets are on sale now.
