Philadelphia Flower Show - anyone planning to go?

[Madam Bijoux]

It opens on March 5 and closes on March 12. Beautiful flowers and plants, great gardening ideas and excellent jewelry stalking opportunities. I''m going every day. The crowds thin out after 3 pm.

FI and I went last year- we really enjoyed it- I dont think we will go this year- just so busy with school and work....have fun though!!

Oh Madam you lucky girl!! I haven''t been to the flower show in 3 years, since I quit working and had kids!!
I used to work at the Convention Center, I am (was) an interior landscaper and the convention center was one of our accounts. Our exterior division would usually have a display in the flower show. Oh fun stuff, just the smell is intoxicating, nothing like it to get you in the gardening mood!! Have fun.

I would love to go. I haven''t been in a few years. I need to see some pretty flowers. This rain is terrible.

You are right, mina, the smell in there is SO AMAZING!!! There is nothing like it to get you ready for spring- YAY!!!
Kaleigh- I know I hate this rain. It is such a yucky day out there today. Oh well, at least it is not snow (yet). Good day to finish writing my paper for grad school- YUCK!!!

Oh this weather is nasty! It looks pretty cause all of our trees are covered in ice but we have plans to get out tonight to our nephews school play and it is up in the air, school was cancelled so it may be as well, we are all just waiting including our babysitter! DH is out at a meeting in Exton and the roads are fine.

I am definitely going! I wouldn't miss it! Though I am kinda bummed because I was planning on taking a personal day from work so I could go during the week, but our state assessment test is the next week and I don't want to be out a day before that. My students need all the preparation I can give them.

So I'm probably going on Saturday, the 11th. I know it is going to be hideously crowded, but it seems to be the only day that will work out. Anyone else going on the weekend?

Oh, and I completely agree about the smell! It gets my whole soul ready for spring and growing things.
