2008 Philadelphia Flower Show
"Jazz it Up!"
March 2 through March 9
From the Roaring '20s to New Orleans' French Quarter, the 2008 Philadelphia Flower Show will inspire people to jazz it up.
"Jazz It Up" will celebrate the birthplace of jazz and much more, as exhibitors take gardening to the next level with pumped-up versions of New Orleans walled courtyards, cast iron balconies, fountains and canals. If you like music, there will also be the toe-tapping sounds of great Jazz legends.
SEPTA is a great way to travel to the Convention Center and avoid the hefty parking fees and traffic congestion of Center City Philadelphia, while helping save the environment.
