Greeting the guests is a meadow made of 18,000 floral and grass stems which is suspended 25 feet above the spectators as they enter the showroom. Proceeds from the preview party benefit the year-round programs of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.
Each day there are special events for guests to enjoy, check the website for the full schedule. The show runs from Saturday, March through Sunday, March 10 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
