Description:
We apologize to other cities at the beginning but the Philadelphia Flower Show really is the best in the U.S.:
Philadelphia gave birth to America's first horticultural society, The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, in 1827 and the nation's first flower show, the Philadelphia Flower Show, in 1829. The Show was held in an 82-by-69-foot building called Masonic Hall on Chestnut Street. Twenty-five Society members showed off their horticultural treasures including a variety of exotic and native plants like magnolias, peonies from China, wonderful Orchids, an India rubber tree, the Coffee Tree of Arabia, and sugar cane from the West Indies. In 1996 the Show moved to its current location at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where it encompasses 33 indoor acres, with exhibit space taking up 10 acres of the main exhibit hall. The Show’s expanded size and scope makes it the largest indoor Flower Show in the world, entertaining crowds of over 275,000 people annually.
Demeter has captured the size, variety and freshness of that Philadelphia experience in our Flower Show Pick-Me-Up Cologne, for you to experience whenever you choose.
