PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, March 2 - 11, 2018
DVWGS Exhibit
For the first time in many years, the DVWGS was invited to create an exhibit for the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show -- the world's largest indoor and America's oldest flower show. Months of planning, and great efforts by many members resulted in a beautiful and eyecatching exhibit, and great interest from many of the 250,000 Floswer Show visitors.
