Philadelphia Flower Show
On this site in 1829, the Pa. Horticultural Society hosted its first flower show, the nation's largest and longest-running horticultural event. Here the American public was introduced to the poinsettia and the chrysanthemum. It re-mains one of the top such events in the world.
