Year-Round Flower Show
Presented by Drew Becher, President, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society  The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society founded in 1827, is probably best known for the Philadelphia Flower Show, mounted in March each year. PHS is now bringing the beauty and inspiration of the Flower Show to landscapes and programs in the Philadelphia region throughout the year with projects such as Pop Up gardens, the temporary sites that transform Center City Philadelphia’s vacant spaces into urban oases. Drew Becher, Society President, will provide an insider’s preview of the grand Pop Up project planned for next spring and … the 2014 Flower Show – both of which will celebrate the art of horticulture and the role gardens and landscapes have played in the visual arts. Becher will also talk about the vision of the Civic Landscapes Plan, designed to transform sites in Philadelphia in the years to come. 
Drew Becher brings his ideas and programs to Philadelphia from his work in Chicago, where he helped develop Mayor Daley’s renowned green agenda, and from his work in NYC, where he ran the New York Restoration Project founded by Bette Midler.
