Subaru of America, INC. Sponsors the Philadelphia Flower Show for the 20th Consecutive Year

Camden, NJ, March 5, 2021 /3BL Media/ – Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that in keeping with its decades-long partnership with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS), it will serve as the exclusive sponsor of the Philadelphia Flower Show, the nation’s largest and longest-running horticultural event. This year, The Philadelphia Flower Show will make history by moving the most sought-after gardening attraction outdoors. For the first time ever, the 2021 Philadelphia Flower Show will take place at the historic Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Park from June 5 to June 13, 2021.

“Each year, the Philadelphia Flower Show inspires nature lovers to enjoy earth’s natural beauty, while also gaining an understanding of how crucial it is to preserve it,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. “We at Subaru are proud to be a part of the Philadelphia Flower Show for the 20th consecutive year, bringing the visual delights of the show outdoors for all to enjoy.”

The Flower Show’s move to an outdoor venue will allow for new creative expression and horticultural displays, as well as social distancing and the health benefits of being outside. The expanded show will cover 15 acres allowing for a spectacular presentation of all-new displays, plus activities for gardeners, plant enthusiasts, and design aficionados.

The theme for this year’s show, “HABITAT: Nature’s Masterpiece” will explore the beauty of life through the lens of nature. Visitors to the show will be treated to exceptional beauty, learn from a diverse line-up of designers and leading horticulturalists and enter a new gardener-centric experience that invites all gardeners at any skill level to nurture a lifelong connection to plants and gardening. Playing to its first-ever outdoor setting, the exhibits will incorporate the expansive landscapes of historic FDR Park. 

As the exclusive sponsor, Subaru will celebrate the majesty of the great outdoors with several exhibits that educate attendees on wildlife and horticulture. 

Subaru and The Cornell Lab of Ornithology will host designated birdwatching areas, engaging children and adults alike to witness wildlife in action at the FDR Park boathouse and pond. The birding areas will feature lessons on gardening to attract birds, building birdhouses, and information on identifying birds in both the eastern and western parts of the United States. 

Subaru will also host several gardening workshops known as “Potting Parties” throughout the flower show. Hosted by the Official Botanical Artist of the GRAMMY® Awards, Tu Bloom, attendees will be invited to create their own container displays with a focus on pollinator plants that attract butterflies and bees.
