What are the Philadelphia Flower Show themes of past years?

I would like to know if I can find a list of the themes for the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show for the past several years. I am making a scrapbook of my photos from all the shows I've been to. Thank you!

  1. Thank you for the list of themes. I have pictures back to 1997 and didn't always write the theme on them. Now I have them all organized and the themes noted.
