2012 Philadelphia Flower Show Tickets

Posted in: community, Events, flowers On: Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Flower Show Small

Primex is selling Philadelphia International Flower Show Tickets again this year at the discounted price of $25 for an adult ticket and $15 for children 16 and under. Pick up your tickets here to avoid the long lines at the show (and save $2). This year’s flower show theme is Hawaii Island of Aloha, which has everyone thinking of warm sunny days on the beach and vibrant tropical flora. A wonderful escape from the grey days and cold winds of winter.

Proceeds from the Flower Show benefit the programs of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.  This year will support City Harvest, PHS’s innovative program which brings together urban farmers and community gardeners, who grow fresh produce for more than 1,000 families in need each week. The Flower Show will not only highlight the flora of Hawaii, it will also focus on growing your own vegetables.  One exhibit that we are looking forward to is a 40 foot long vertical gardening wall filled with lettuce, using several varieties for texture and color.  There will also be beds on display highlighting ornamental and innovative vegetable gardening techniques.

Need a little pick me up before March 4th? Our greenhouse is brimming with tropical plants to bring a little piece of paradise into your home.  Walk into our greenhouse and be welcomed by the exotic scents of orchids and the heady aroma of hyacinths. Take home an orchid and be rewarded with colorful blooms for the winter (we have many varieties to choose from!). Or take home some fresh and fragrant herbs for your windowsill.  Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and be transported to sunnier times.

Testimonials

Primex Garden Center has been a great supporter of the Seeds for Learning program, from seed and pot donations to helping us get the best cost for merchandise from their vendors. We really appreciate Primex being an ally in Philadelphia’s urban agriculture movement, as well as for our neighborhood youth.

—Tara Anastasi (Seeds for Learning, Program Manager | Foundations, Inc.)

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support of Penn State Extension programs through the years. I am particularly grateful to you (Primex) for your recent donation of 25 Earthboxes for our Harvest- 4-Health program. Looking forward to continuing this partnership into the next season.

—John Byrnes (County Extension Director, Philadelphia County | Penn State University)

On behalf of everyone at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, thank you and Primex Garden Center for your generous donation of 36 Earthboxes for use in our Green City Teachers program. We are so grateful to have your continued support of PHS, and thank you for enabling the continued success of our programs through your cooperation.

—Drew Becker (President, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society)

Our Community Garden will be a huge success, in part due to your generous donation of soil, grass seed, mulch and fertilizer. Your personal commitment was incredibly helpful in allowing us to start our community garden at Health Center 9. Your assistance means so much to me, but even more to the Americorps members, Health Center Staff and Patients. Thanks for your generosity and quality products!

—Jaymee Biscoe & Dan Ryan (Patient Assistance Advocates at Health Center 9 | Americorps Volunteers)

Because of the beautiful plants and flower donations, the school yard has been transformed into a wonderful, colorful place for our students and children of the community can play and enjoy the lovely scenery while using the playground. Again, thank you for such generous contributions.

—Dr. Francine Fulton (Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Imani Education Circle Charter School)

Thank you very much for your contributions to my Eagle Scout Project. The project was extremely successful. Fifty volunteers helped to plant the over 2000 bulbs donated. The residents at the Abramson Center had a great time interacting with community members and now enjoy the color and beauty that the garden brings to the center. My project would not have been so successful had you not been so kind.

—Michael Wheatman
