The Philadelphia Flower theme for 2011 is Springtime in Paris. For more details, please visit www.TheFlowerShow.com. In addition to Longwood Gardens, we will also visit the Hagley Museum for the first time on my 19 years of hosting these tours.

Please pass this info on to your garden club, as well as friends and neighbors that enjoy gardening. Send your deposit as soon as possible to reserve your place. In sixteen years of leading this tour, no one has ever lost a deposit because they had to cancel their reservation - even the night before. Bring family and friends for a two days of flowers. We have even had three generations attend together!  We will also be bringing back those amazing mushrooms once again.
