SUMMARY:The 2026 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show celebrates the stories that ground us in gardening\, whether it’s the nostalgia of a grandparent’s garden\, a beloved family recipe that begins with the bright scent of freshly picked herbs and vegetables\, or the heritage traditions that shape how we plant\, grow\, and gather. Through immersive garden exhibits and stunning floral displays\, Rooted: Origins of American Gardening brings to life the personal stories\, cultural traditions\, and horticultural inspiration that connect us to plants\, each other\, and shape how we garden today. \nAs Philadelphia celebrates the 250th anniversary of American independence\, the 2026 Flower Show offers a chance to reflect on the gardening legacies we’ve inherited and the ones we’re growing for the future\, shaped by people and plants from around the world. This year’s Show will combine legacy and belonging with breathtaking artistry and larger-than-life creations that will take guests on a journey through a vivid world full of memory and magnificence.

SUMMARY:AHS LIVE: Private Garden Tour: Phoenix
DESCRIPTION:Join Scott Burdick\, board chair of Desert Botanical Garden\, for a private tour of his famed Rancho Arroyo garden! Dating to the 1920s\, this acre property was originally owned by Hubert Earle\, director of the Desert Botanical Garden. Earle filled the grounds with rare specimens brought back from Mexico\, including boojum trees\, unusual cacti\, and striking desert flora. Successive owner Virginia Cave sculpted the landscape to echo natural desert wash with native plantings\, including palo brea and several different species of cacti. Further delights include heritage ironwood\, saguaro\, and totem pole cacti\, as well as a fountain-fed\, circulating stream that attracts wildlife and nourishes the flowers and grasses. \nScott Burdick is the board chair of Desert Botanical Garden and managing partner at Wiseman and Gale\, an interior design firm based in Scottsdale\, AZ. Burdick previously worked in Treasury and Finance at Saks Fifth Avenue’s corporate headquarters\, then at global management consulting firm Mercer Management Consulting – a division of Marsh & McLennan Companies\, in a senior financial role for their European businesses. Burdick received his undergraduate degree in finance from the University of Arizona and MBA from Thunderbird. \n$40 AHS members/$50 non-members\nAll tours are listed in location’s timezone\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:AHS LIVE: The African Ancestors Garden
DESCRIPTION:Paul Peters\, principal at Hood Design Studio\, will share about the studio’s landscape design process for the African Ancestors Garden\, part of the International African American Museum in Charleston\, South Carolina. The garden draws inspiration from both the Lowcountry landscape and the broader African diaspora to create a tranquil environment for reflection\, learning\, and remembrance. Organized as a series of sub-gardens\, the design celebrates the artistry\, craftsmanship\, and labor of African Americans through botanical and material narratives. The African Origins Garden highlights the botanical diaspora by featuring plants commonly found throughout Southern landscapes that trace their origins to regions across Africa\, symbolizing how plant migration parallels the historical displacement and movement of people. Complementing this\, the Lowcountry Garden is rooted in the ecology of local marshlands\, incorporating native reeds\, a circular arrangement of concrete benches inspired by the contours of coastal mudflats\, and a gentle ground depression that gathers site runoff. Together\, these spaces form a contemplative memorial landscape that honors ancestral memory and offers visitors a profound connection to the enduring heritage of the African diaspora. \nHood Design Studio is a landscape architecture and social art practice based in Oakland\, California and founded by visionary landscape architect\, Walter Hood. Paul Peters\, a Principal at Hood Design Studio\, is renowned for spotlighting the intricate ties between nature and culture in his landscape designs. He transforms expansive sites into intimate spaces\, designing with sensitivity to personal memories and experiences. He is deeply invested in the conceptual phase\, seamlessly weaving broad perspectives\, conceptual thinking\, and research throughout his projects\, ultimately influencing societal perspectives. Earning his master’s in landscape architecture from the University of British Columbia\, Paul managed his own design-build firm in Vancouver for seven years. Since joining Hood Design Studio in 2016\, he’s pioneered several groundbreaking projects. Notably\, he’s contributed to the International African American Museum in Charleston\, SC\, the historic Oakland Museum of California’s renovation\, and Nvidia’s state-of-the-art campus in Silicon Valley. \nVirtual\n$15 AHS members/$20 non-members\nAll virtual programs are in ET\nRegister Here
