“The move to the Convention
Center is a wonderful opportunity
for us,” says Show Designer Ed
Lindemann. “The new site will
allow the Show’s exhibits and
amenities to grow and at the same
time remain comfortable for all of
our guests.”
The Show will grow in many
ways in 1996. The exhibition
space will increase from six acres
at the Civic Center to 10 acres at
the Convention Center. The Con
vention Center will have four
times as many escalators and ele
vators for visitors, wider aisles, a
greater number of food areas and
more rest rooms. But despite the
changes, the focus will remain the
same. In addition to the major
exhibitors featured, the Show will
continue to present competitive
classes, lectures and demonstra
tions, a marketplace for shoppers
and gardening information.
The move of the Philadelphia
Flower Show will impact the
entire city as well. Flower Show
