“We are thrilled to be returning to FDR Park for the 2022 Philadelphia Flower Show. This year, we have interpreted what it means to be ‘In Full Bloom’ both figuratively and literally.

With new activities, family friendly spaces, and superb dining experiences, this year’s Show will have something for everyone to enjoy,” said Sam Lemheney, The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Chief of Shows and Events.
FOOD/BEVERAGE
Through a blend of culinary artistry, local flavors, and diverse cuisine, OVG360 and Brûlée Catering have joined forces with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to incorporate a wide variety of food and beverage options into the Philadelphia Flower Show experience. This year, guests will be able to unwind at a Happy Hour with Fine Wine & Good Spirits, grab a bite and listen to some music at the Food Bazaar, share a casual drink and bite to eat at the Boathouse, explore a collection of dozens of notable food vendors, or enjoy an expertly prepared meal while seated in The Lakes restaurant.
Exhibits
This year’s show will feature 40 major exhibitors of diverse backgrounds and experiences, offering an incredible lineup of forward-thinking and progressive designs for these large scale gardens.
Visitors can anticipate seeing the works of extraordinary landscape architects, garden designers, and florists, with an emphasis on diversity both in the demographics of exhibitors and in their highly unique designs. “In Full Bloom” will feature more female exhibitors than ever before, shedding light on the incredible achievements of women in the field of landscape and garden design and their unique contributions and points of view.
Among the many exceptional exhibitors on the roster is renowned landscape architect Martha Schwartz, a Forbes 2021 “50 Over 50” recipient, whose practice is committed to the design of urban landscapes and the public realm as the foundation for sustainable cities. Her 1,800-square foot display will depict the beauty of the mushroom in a way that both challenges our understanding of beauty norms, and artfully portrays the allure of fungi.
Guests will also be able to view the incredible works of Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show award-winning garden designer Ann Marie Powell, whose innovative firm combines the best of contemporary design with highly innovative materials in a naturalistic style, with sustainability at the heart of their approach.
Wambui Ippolito, the noted landscape designer and one of Veranda magazine’s 2021 “Eleven Revolutionary Female Landscape Designers and Architects You Should Know” will return to this year’s Show to defend her 2021 Flower Show trophy for “Best in Show” with another showstopping display.
Additionally, Philadelphia based David Rubin Land Collective, a landscape architecture and urban design studio committed to emphasizing socially purposeful design strategies, will celebrate authenticity and Pride Month in their exhibit. Reminiscent of an embrace, the display will encircle a central space with a full spectrum of colorful, hand-dyed ribbons and highly unique xGordlinia grandiflora trees.
Throughout the exhibitor lineup, guests will encounter forward-thinking, innovative, and progressive designers from a diverse array of backgrounds, each contributing stunning and thought-provoking displays that explore the restorative power of nature and plants, as well as the importance of mental and emotional health.
