PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW BUS TRIP CANCELLATION
We're sorry to announce that after much deliberation we've made the difficult decision to cancel this year's Bus Trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show. Sadly, for whatever reason(s) registrations for the trip have been extremely low, so low that we have not reached our break even point. We don't know why this is the case, perhaps the very cold, snowy, windy weather has something to do with it.
Thank you to those who did register for the trip. We're sorry to disappoint you, but will plan on going to the Flower Show next year.
Keynote Speakers, Christopher Bolden-Newsome and Owen Taylor, Founders of Truelove Seeds, Philadelphia, PA
Saturday, March 7 - 9:00 AM - (Snow Date: Sunday, March 8)
In person at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum
