Temple students construct exhibit for Philadelphia Flower Show

AMBLER, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- The 2026 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show will soon be in full bloom. But as Temple students will tell you, the exhibits don't grow overnight.

They have spent months designing an exhibit titled, 'CommonWealth: Nourishing Community and Our Natural World.'

It all happened at the Temple University Ambler campus, whose involvement with the Flower Show dates back to when it was known as the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women.

It has become an annual tradition for their students to design an exhibit, grow plants, and volunteer at the show.

Watch the video to see a behind-the-scenes look at the action: from the hammers clanging in the Innovation Studio to the quiet hum of the Greenhouse.
