What’s Blooming at This Year’s Flower Show?

Upgrades to the Guest Experience 

Based on guest feedback from last year, we have made several enhancements to the Show to provide an even more enjoyable experience for guests at this year’s outdoor event. 

To help address the heat, hydration stations will be available throughout the Show grounds for guests to refill their water bottles, and bottled water will be available for purchase from most Flower Show eateries. If the temperature becomes too uncomfortable, water misters will also be available in FDR Park. 

For improved accessibility at the 2022 Flower Show, the walkway from the park entrance to the Flower Show entry gates has been re-paved, and additional attention will be given to curbs throughout the Show grounds for guests to easily maneuver if using a wheelchair or other mobility device. There will be additional restrooms added to the Show grounds in 2022, including a wide variety of restroom options for women, men, families, and ADA/ramp accessible. 

More Food and Beverage Options 

The 2022 Flower Show eateries will offer a wide variety of food and drinks for guests, including global cuisine choices, as well as gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, family-friendly, and allergy-sensitive options. 

The Food Bazaar will provide a picturesque place for visitors to take a break, grab a delicious bite to eat and a cold drink, and listen to live music. Guests can soak in the natural beauty of the Flower Show outdoors as they enjoy a wide range of food and beverage options curated for foodies, festival diners, and families. A variety of eateries will also be interspersed throughout the Show grounds this year. 

Family-Friendly Experiences 

There will be numerous ways for families and children to experience the beauty and fun of horticulture together at the 2022 Flower Show. The Kids Cocoon will feature an outdoor playground and dedicated place for kids and parents to relax and enjoy. Nearby, kids and people of all ages can get up close with hundreds of spectacular, native butterflies at the re-imagined Butterflies Live! Exhibit. 

Young families can celebrate Father’s Day at the Flower Show with Family Frolic on Sunday, June 19. This special day will feature a variety of floral, gardening, and craft activities, plus sights and sounds provided by local Philadelphia partners and institutions. Family Frolic programming is free and included with your ticket purchase for this date.
