The Philadelphia Flower Show

Dear Imaginary Gardener Friend,
Are you a big fan of horticulture, gardens, etc.? No? Well, put down that root beer and those Cheetos, regardless, and come on out to the Philadelphia Flower Show, with its extravagant array of floral displays, plants, containers, and gadgets for sale. It is a feast for the eyes, and a challenge to the mind. 
Snow outside? No worries. It will seem like May inside with flowers blooming at every turn.
Lectures are offered all day long. And, no, they are not about the significant evolution of the dung beetle. You wish!
This year, the theme is Paris, and you will marvel and scratch your head at how the floral designers transported the flavor of Paris out of a spare-looking convention center, and brought Spring to cruddy and cold Philly.
When? The second week of March. You know, you could spend big money, and fly to London's Chelsea Flower Show, but why don't you save your clams and drive to Philly?
And yes, there are cheesesteaks available for sale across the street.
Cheers,
Your Imaginary Friend
Patsie
