'Holland' wows attendees at Flower Show

I thought it was playful," said Jennifer Gubernick, of Bryn Mawr, after she stepped out of the clogs. The graphic designer, who works at an events company, said she liked this year's "broad" theme over something "kitschy" like 2015's show, which featured Disney characters.Walking into the Ecodome, a 3,500-square-foot, igloo-shaped exhibit featuring Dutch-grown plants and showcasing the Netherlands' sustainable technologies, Susan Kane spotted people sitting in what looked like a basket in the middle of the exhibit. "Oh, look!" she exclaimed to her friend Jennifer Lynn. "That's what we are in! A hot-air balloon!""That's spectacular, really," Kane said.The two friends from Mercer County, N.J., wore green shamrock stickers on their cheeks to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. They originally planned to take SEPTA's Regional Rail into Philadelphia, but gave up after spending about an hour at the West Trenton station and hearing multiple announcements about delays. (SEPTA was experiencing overhead-power issues in the early morning, which caused delays on Regional Rail lines.)Kane and Lynn ended up driving into Philadelphia, even giving a ride to a stranger, who was also waiting at the train station and on the way to the Flower Show.For those who needed a rest, a few chairs in the Ecodome proved popular."They should have more," said Anna Wojnarowska, enjoying the view from an orange plastic chair. "It would be lovely if they had more seats like this in this beautiful spot."Wojnarowska, who lives in Manhattan, takes landscape classes at the New York Botanical Garden.  She said Flower Show organizers should limit the number of people who can enter at one time to allow people to walk around more freely to enjoy the beautiful gardens.Another Flower Show attendee who appreciated finding a seat in the Ecodome was Mario Facinelli, 90, of Long Island, N.Y. "Oh, really happy. Less people, more seats," he suggested as he plopped into a white seat and his daughter, Linda Dodge, took over the orange one that Wojnarowska gave up when she saw them."We have a family reunion at the Flower Show," said Dodge, of Warrenton, Va.div class="ad align...

Valentine's Day -- A day for love … and possibly record spending

Wellington is the owner of Three Peas in a Pod Florist in Royersford. This year, Wellington added something new — The Late Entry Quartet from the Bryn Mawr Mainliners delivered Valentine’s wishes in song. “They did an awesome job, and the people they sang for were so surprised,” Wellington said. “We didn’t have a huge number, but you never do the first time you try something.” She added that it’s something the shop will offer again next year. WHO ARE WE BUYING FOR? Consumers may have a little more room in their budget to indulge on gifts for their loved ones, according to a press release.

Children, parents and co-workers will also be getting gifts this year. And once again — furry family members will be feted this Valentine’s Day, according to the survey.
