Step Into a Garden of Legacy and Story
This year’s theme, “PHS Philadelphia Flower Show 2026 – Rooted: Origins of American Gardening,” invites us to journey into the rich heritage of American horticulture. It’s about the stories we inherit, the plants that carry our memories, and the traditions we pass on. Whether it’s Grandma’s herb patch, a family recipe that begins with fresh ingredients from a backyard garden, or the cultural roots that shape how we plant, grow, and gather, this year celebrates how gardening binds us across generations.
As Philadelphia celebrates the 250th anniversary of American independence, the 2026 Flower Show offers a chance to reflect on the gardening legacies we’ve inherited and the ones we’re growing for the future, shaped by people and plants from around the world. This year’s Show will combine legacy and belonging with breathtaking artistry and larger-than-life creations that will take guests on a journey through a vivid world full of memory and magnificence.
