Kid-Friendly Activities at the 2012 Philadelphia Flower Show – Day Trip
The Philadelphia Flower Show may not sound like a kid friendly event but there is a host of activities to engage children in the fun of gardening. Toddlers, youngsters and teens can fun with hands-on planting, flower arranging, Hawaii-inspired arts and crafts, and earth-loving activities in the all-new Einstein Healthcare Network Family Lounge powered by Sprout on March 4-11.
“Hawaii: Islands of Aloha,” is year’s Philadelphia Flower Show theme, introducing a tropical experience that blends next-stage digital technology with the natural beauty and rich culture of the islands.
