Celebrating the power of gardening to advance health and well-being! 

The Preview Party, PHS’s annual fundraiser, takes place Friday, March 1, 2024 at 6:00 pm, with early VIP entry at 5:00 pm.

The PHS Preview Party is the exclusive opening cocktail party for the Philadelphia Flower Show, bringing together world-renowned garden designers and florists, philanthropists, expert and novice plant lovers, and Flower Show fans, for a unique, flower-filled celebration.  

In addition to exclusive early access to the 2024 Philadelphia Flower Show, this year’s Preview Party will feature a joyful cocktail party atmosphere featuring multiple bars, plentiful food stations, and live music performances.  

The Flower Show’s expansive garden wonderland creates a spectacular décor for a truly memorable party – and your ticket purchase helps to expand our impact.
