The Arboretum at Penn State has something exciting blooming.<\/p>\n

For the first time in 30 years, Penn State is heading to the 2027 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) Philadelphia Flower Show. <\/p>\n

Penn State will plan and create a garden display for the nation\u2019s largest and longest-running horticulture event, taking place March 12-21, 2027, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.<\/p>\n

The Arboretum will lead the development of the exhibit alongside faculty, staff, and students from multiple Penn State campuses and units. <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme for the annual Flower Show is \u201cIconic.\u201d With an estimated 250,000 visitors, the exhibit will represent the university through horticulture and design.<\/p>\n

Casey Sclar, H.O. Smith Endowed Director of The Arboretum at Penn State, explained the opportunity as a chance for Penn State to share its story. <\/p>\n

\u201cPenn State has an incredible story to tell. The PHS Philadelphia Flower Show gives us an opportunity to tell that story in a whole new way,\u201d Sclar said in a news release. <\/p>\n

\u201cInnovative design and exceptional uses of plants will draw visitors to the exhibit, but we really hope their takeaway is something much bigger: the legacy of experiential education, research, and Penn State\u2019s positive impact across Pennsylvania and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of the effort to showcase this year\u2019s \u201cIconic\u201d theme, the entire Penn State community can help tell the university\u2019s story through a \u201ccall for objects.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Arboretum will welcome objects that connect to the university and reflect Penn State as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want this to be a community-driven part of the exhibit and show the many ways Penn State has made an impact,\u201d Rachel Duke, public programs manager for the Arboretum, said.<\/p>\n

More information regarding the call for objects is available on the Arboretum\u2019s webpage<\/a>. Those interested can fill out an interest form, due December 18.<\/p>\n
