Visitor Suggestions
First time to the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show? Here are some tips to make the
most of your experience.
Dress for the occasion. There’s a lot to see, so comfortable shoes are a must.
Dress in layers as it can get chilly on the Show floor.
Take notes. Jot down the name of plants you like or the contact information of
exhibitors, or snap a photo of your favorite exhibits.
Identify yourself. If you are a PHS member, bring your Membership ID, which
entitles you to discounts at the Flower Show Store and other retail locations.
Plan the day. Check the schedule of events on the Flower Show App, website, or
upon arrival at the Convention Center. There are lectures, demonstrations,
culinary displays, book signings, and more that you don’t want to miss.
Make a shopping list. The Flower Show is a shopper’s paradise. Think ahead to
Spring and what you might want for the months ahead. Throwing a party?
Planning a garden bed? Considering a new hobby? Redecorating a room?

Rip Van
Winkle
Thursday,
July 9
Come join us today for the ride of a lifetime.
When a scenic train ride was established in Arkville, NY in 1986,
the excursion was dubbed the Delaware & Ulster. The name was
a nod to the historic Ulster & Delaware Railroad that had rolled
along the same tracks for more than a century.
The path of the Ulster & Delaware wound trains from Kingston
Point on the Hudson River, through the Catskill Region and
ultimately to Oneonta in the Susquehanna Valley.
The U&D was originally chartered as the Rondout & Oswego and
was reorganized three years later as the New York, Kingston and
Syracuse. The line became the Ulster & Delaware in 1875 and
track to Oneonta was completed in 1900.
A “High Caliber” lunch will be provided on the train.

Carousels
Plus
Tuesday, July
28th
Who doesn't enjoy carousels?
Between 1919 and 1934, George F. Johnson, shoe
manufacturer and great benefactor, donated six beautiful
carousels to our local parks. Johnson’s commitment to
recreation was always more than just good business. He
felt carousels contributed to a happy life and would help
youngsters grow into strong and useful citizens. Because of
his own poor childhood,
“George F.” believed
carousels should be enjoyed
by everyone and insisted
that the municipalities never
charge money for a magic
ride. Come with us today
and enjoy this magical
experience. Lunch is
included today.
