More than just a Flower Show

The Philadelphia Flower show is a wonderful experience that I highly recommend everyone try to partake in it at some point in their life. The show featured everything from displays of Roman Coliseums, to underwater scenes, to a tree with every branch painted different colors, to clothes, jewelry, and shoes made of organic materials. Aside from enjoying the multitude of displays, I was also able to see the wide variety of people that came to show for various reasons. While I was there I spoke with Julie Wang, a plant buyer from corporate, Pat Spinosi, an Italian folk dancer, and Chip Schwartz, an Albright College Senior. In speaking with them I was able to get a variety of opinions and views and how the Flower Show serves a different pupose for each person. Not only did the show benefit the participants, but also the city of Philadelphia in attracting news coverage that may have helped people not even directly involved in the show.
