PHILADELPHIA, PA – September 26, 2024 – How can gardening shape a better future? The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s (PHS) 2025 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show will explore this and more with its theme, "Gardens of Tomorrow." Globally renowned for its stunning floral displays, garden landscapes, and premier plant and botanical art competitions, this year’s exhibits invite you to explore the future through the eyes of visionary designers, expert gardeners, and passionate green enthusiasts as they merge nature’s brilliance with human ingenuity. Guests will experience imaginative designs, innovative ideas, and boundless inspiration on how to cultivate the possibilities of tomorrow through gardening.
‘Gardens of Tomorrow’ invites us to envision a future where our actions today nurture a healthier planet. Through the simple act of gardening and planting trees, we plant seeds of hope for a greener future. The 2025 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show highlights the transformative power of plants and inspires us to create a beautiful, more resilient future together,” said VP and Creative Director of the Philadelphia Flower Show, Seth Pearsoll.
Whether you enjoy gardening for its many health and wellness benefits, you plant for your community and the connections it fosters, or you garden with sustainability in mind to strengthen our planet’s ecosystem – every act of gardening is an act of hope that can improve our outcomes.
As part of the 2025 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show announcement, PHS is unveiling the first in a series of thematic art pieces inspired by "Gardens of Tomorrow." Digitally hybridized flowers, using historic photos and illustrations from the PHS McLean Library, hint at a future of possibilities echoed by the prismatic effect and varied fonts. With more versions to come in the new year, this first release teases the idea of what could sprout tomorrow with what we tend to today.
Now in its 196th year, the award-winning PHS Philadelphia Flower Show is a world-renowned gardening event and PHS’s main fundraiser for its lauded greening work throughout the Philadelphia region that aims to advance health and well-being for all.
“PHS has long championed gardening to positively transform ourselves, our society, and our health and well-being. This belief drives not only the Flower Show but our year-round work planting trees, supporting community gardens, remediating vacant land, and creating dynamic, free, public gardens. As we look towards the future, the 2025 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show envisions a world where gardening is both a joyful hobby and a celebrated force for creating a healthier planet, society, and people.” said PHS President, Matt Rader.
