Each year, the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia for one of the largest and most respected floral events in the world. The 2026 show, themed "Rooted: Origins of American Gardening," celebrated the traditions, memories, and cultural stories that shape how we plant, grow, and gather.

This year, CFG was proud to donate product to support Jennifer Reed of Jennifer Designs, a floral designer based in Mullica Hill, New Jersey. Jennifer Designs came into the 2026 show as the returning Best in Show – Floral winner from 2025, and her exhibit "Rooted in Love" was one of the most talked-about displays of the event. The exhibit invited attendees into a living stage where flowers became characters, centered on a reimagined love story inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Jennifer also took home the Society of American Florists Flower Show Award for artistic presentation of flowers and plants.

CFG donated foliage used across Jennifer's exhibits at the show, including Pittosporum, Salal, Boxwood, Nandina, Camellia, Oregonia, Magnolia, Mossy Branches, and Mixed Butterfly Ranunculus, totaling over 200 bunches and 300 stems total. Event photography by Haley Richter Photography.

Supporting designers like Jennifer is part of why we do what we do. The work that goes into an exhibit at this level is significant, and having access to quality greens makes a real difference in what a designer can create. We're glad we could be part of it.
