Celebrate the Movies! Landscapes, the Sequel
Couldn’t make the Spring Flower Show? No to worry. After a brief intermission, I’m continuing my tour of this year’s theme, Celebrate the Movies!, with more of the major landscapers and designers that provide so much of the color and excitement. There’s actually an enormous amount of territory to cover so put on your hiking shoes if you’re tagging along. I’m not kidding. I’ve managed a good number of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s annual shows and even I’m astonished at how much has been packed into the Convention Center this year. You can rest at the end of the blog... before we’re off for even more! After today, it’s the floral designers. There’s a little taste of that way down below. Wha ha ha. First up, a trip though the wardrobe into Eternal Winter (as if it isn’t cold enough outside already) for one of the more thoughtful and well-articulated landscapes on exhibit in 2015 by the United Kingdom’s Paul Hervey-Brookes & Associates. Well flocked by the crew, too.
