Re: Philly Flower Show question

**E*@aol.com**

Andrew, 
    I have been going to the  show for 24 years and have attended the press 
preview but my visit to the show  is always on Tuesday.
  The press preview is limited in time  with a presentation from PHS then 
you can go out to the floor for a little  while. It is a nice time however 
many of the exhibits are not complete and they  will actually be building some 
of them. That includes many that have fresh  flowers. Most of the major 
landscape exhibits will either be completed or almost  complete. My suggestion 
is to go to the press preview to get as many photos as  you need. If you 
need more, you can be there EARLY Saturday morning to get what  you didn't the 
night before and then get out. I suggest you ask for an  exhibitors guide 
from PHS which gives you the criteria for the exhibits. It's  not the one you 
get at the door so you would have to ask ahead of time. My  advice if you go 
on Saturday is there is always ton of people who linger at  the entrance 
and most head to the landscape displays that are center and to the  right. Go 
in the door and make a left, heading towards the juried exhibits,  floral 
exhibits, niches and other displays.

The show  opens Friday for the press.  I have a Sunday  deadline as my  
column appears Mondays online though not until Thursday in   print.

How much do I miss if I go to the Friday press preview as   opposed to 
trying to get there early on Saturday morning?  When are  you  going?
