Philly Flower Show & Longwood Gardens Tour

The 2015 Philadelphia Flower Show
"Celebrating the Magic of the Movies!"

See the largest annual indoor flower show in the world,
& the premier horticultural display garden in the
country - Longwood Gardens

March 4-5 (Wed.-Thurs.)

The theme for the 185th PHS Philadelphia Flower Show is Hollywood – "Lights, Camera, BLOOM" celebrating the movies. For more details, visit www.TheFlowerShow.com. Most people come with me to see the Flower Show, but almost everyone enjoys Longwood Gardens even more. It is so peaceful and relaxing, after the bustle of downtown Philly. We will spend more time at Longwood Gardens this year, rather than trying to squeeze in a second stop. Each year we order mushrooms (lots of them), and you can do that once again in 2015.

First Day - March 4th (Wednesday)
7:30 Depart Rochester from Bristol's Garden Center on Rt. 96 just south of Eastview Mall
11:15 Lunch included near Scranton, PA at The Inn at Nichols Village
3:00 Arrive Philadelphia Flower Show
9:00 Leave show for Comfort Inn/Suites in Wilmington, Delaware (same hotel we always use)
9:45 Arrive at Hotel

Second Day – March 5th (Thursday)
8:10 Leave for Longwood Gardens (continental breakfast at hotel)
9:00 Arrive Longwood Gardens, lunch on your own in their wonderful cafe
2:30 Leave for dinner in Scranton.
5:30 Arrive at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel for an elegant closing dinner
10:30 Return to Rochester (Bristol's Garden Center)

The 2015 price is $395 per person (double) includes everything except dinner at the Flower Show, and also does not include lunch at Longwood (add $55 for a single). Send the full amount to reserve your place. Call Michael at 585-703-9237 if you have questions. Please send a check payable to Michael Warren Thomas, 19 Trafalgar Street, Rochester, NY 14619.

Does anyone else want to go from SW/19th Ward?  Mark and I are going, so join us.  Should be interesting, and I have always wanted to see Longwood Gardens, the part 2 of the tour.  Mushrooms from probably Kennet Square, the capital.  The trip by bus is long, but it will be a breath of Spring!  Who wants to join us?
