Philadelphia Flower Show opens this weekend at FDR Park
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The 2021 Philadelphia Flower Show opens Saturday at FDR Park.
This is the first time the show will be held outdoors. And unlike most years, it's being held in June, not March.
The theme this year is 'Habitat: Nature's Masterpiece.'
Finishing touches were being put on Friday before members arrived to walk around the show.
Florists said it's a great place for people buy and plant a flower the same day.
