Delaware Valley College first entered the Flower Show in 1950, when the college was still the National Agricultural College. Professor of Ornamental Horticulture, Dr. Frederic Blau, was the faculty member responsible for organizing this first display. Since 1950, the college has remained a participant and has won recognition for its many awards. Over the years, the college's exhibits have reflected contemporary themes, such as orchids in the 1960s, organic gardening in the 1970s, and sustainability in the early 21st century. The college has also partnered with colleges from other countries, such as Great Britain (1985) and Japan (1997) to create unique displays. View Past Exhibits | View Most Recent Exhibit

In
1829, the annual Philadelphia Flower Show first began as an exhibition
of the plant collections of members of the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society. Since then, it has continued with only one break (during
the 1960s for construction of the Civic Center), and holds the Guinness
Book of World Records award for both the longest-running horticultural
show and the largest indoor flower show.”
