"The PHS Philadelphia Flower Show has always been woven into the cultural fabric of this city, bringing people together around the beauty, creativity and inspiration that flowers and plants provide," PHS President Matt Rader said in a statement. "This new dining partnership reflects the same spirit; an incredible variety of unique restaurants offering experiences that extend the magic of the Flower Show into neighborhoods across Philadelphia."
This year's theme, "Rooted: Origins of American Gardening," will pay homage to the beginnings of contemporary horticultural techniques with displays relating to Japanese zen gardens, Scottish forests and the early trade routes that transported plants around the world.
The sprawling exhibit will be open to the public from Saturday to Sunday, March 8, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and there are still tickets available. If you can't make it, though, here are food and drink options that allow you channel your inner flower power.
