America in Bloom plans display garden at Philadelphia Flower Show

For the fifth consecutive year, America in Bloom (AIB) will have stunning display garden at the world famous Philadelphia Flower Show. Held from March 4 to March 13 in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Flower Show is the largest, oldest, and most prestigious in the world. This year’s theme, "Explore America" honors the 100th anniversary of America’s national parks. It’s also a fitting theme for America in Bloom, which honors America’s best cities in a national awards program.

AIB’s display garden coordinators, board members Evelyn Alemanni and Dale Fisher, partnered with Proven Winners, Jon Carloftis Fine Gardens, and Longwood Antique Wood to support the theme. In addition, GrowIt! will create a special app so that guests can learn more about the spectacular plants used to create the AIB garden.

Alemanni commented, “We are thrilled and grateful for the generosity of our partners, and excited to be working with
all of them. Our display garden will be filled with beautiful plants including nemesia, lobularia, a variety of grasses, and much, much more.”

America in Bloom volunteers, including board members and judges, will be on hand during most of the show to greet guests and explain the AIB awards program. AIB judges Katy Moss Warner, Evelyn Alemanni, Carlo Balistrieri, and Barbara Vincentsen will also serve as flower show judges.
