The long love affair between art and nature—and the artistic expression found in great garden and floral design—will be captured in an extraordinary presentation of the internationally renowned PHS Philadelphia Flower Show in 2014.

In the 10-acre exhibition space of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, “ARTiculture” will explore how exquisite landscapes, gardens, and floral arrangements have inspired artists from the Old Masters to the Impressionists to the most creative forces working today. The world’s leading landscape and floral designers will demonstrate that horticultural design is itself a form of art.

The bus departs from Creamery Lane/Aurora Park Drive parking lot in Easton at 10 a.m. and from Adkins Arboretum in Ridgely at 10:30 a.m. An additional stop at the 301/291 Park and Ride for Chestertown-area participants will be added upon request. We will depart from the Flower Show at 7 p.m. This trip is a joint venture between Adkins Arboretum and Academy Art Museum. Both organizations will be accepting reservations, so early registration is encouraged.

Fee: $75 members, $95 non-members includes transportation, driver gratuity, and admission.
