DUTCHESS CO., N.Y. — CCEDC is taking reservations for our annual bus trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show. The 2018 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, “Wonders of Water,” will celebrate the beauty and life-sustaining interplay of horticulture and water.
America’s leading floral and garden designers will create tropical jungles, temperate forests, native woodlands and arid landscapes, showcasing the astounding plants that thrive in each environment, from exquisite orchids and flowering vines to luminescent desert blooms.
The cost is $75 per person which includes transportation and admission. We will be leaving from the Farm & Home Center on Rt. 44 in Millbrook promptly at 8 AM and returning home at approximately 9:30 PM. Pre-registration and payment is required.
