Since 1829, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) has presented the Flower Show - an annual competition in horticulture, floral arranging, and gardening demonstrations.

The PHS Flower Show is both the nation's largest and the world’s longest-running horticultural event.

The Alternative Flower Show requests artwork and proposals for installations, performances, workshops, lectures, and events that examine and explore concepts surrounding horticulture, botany, floral display and arrangement, ecology, and the environment.

By leveraging PHS Flower Show’s reputation, the Alternative Flower Show seeks to present works that invert, question, and engage the Show, its meaning, output, and impact.

The Alternative Flower Show provides the foundation upon which we begin to ask what a Flower Show aspires to be, where it could go, and what it can become.
