Cathy at the Philadelphia Flower Show

Cathy volunteered at the Philadelphia Flower Show on two Sundays in June, which gave her the opportunity to take many beautiful photos.

These are just a few of the pictures Cathy posted on Facebook.

The annual event is produced by The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. It is typically held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in early March, and is said to be the oldest and largest indoor flower show in the world, attracting more than 250,000 visitors each year. But last year's and this year's shows were held outdoors, due to Covid-19, and later in the year for better weather.

This year's event at FDR Park included a butterfly exhibit in a large tent. Cathy's volunteer job on the second Sunday involved checking visitors as they left the exhibit - to make sure no butterflies were hitching rides on their clothes or hair!
