Spring - The Art of Reinvention
/
Spring is known for its sudden flourish of natural life. It is the land’s reawakening after months of peaceful dormancy, and it reinvents landscapes back into lush greenery after a harsh winter.
Workplaces, institutions (both figurative and literal), and people have also found that they have had to reinvent themselves due to the recent coronavirus pandemic. In more ways than one, we have all transformed our normal, daily routines and have been learning to ride the wave of change and reinvention.
With change in mind, we are so thrilled to hear that our favorite Philadelphia Flower Show has also adapted their business model and will be held outside this year.
The 2021 edition of the nearly 200-year-old show is scheduled for June 5 to 13 at FDR Park, a sprawling South Philadelphia space known for its ponds and lagoons… The park was designed by the Olmsted brothers, landscape architects whose other credits include New York’s Central Park and Chicago’s Humboldt Park.
Take a scroll through our latest email of virtual and in-person events and happenings that have also been revitalized for this new, changing season. We will steadily count down the days until the spring eqinox on March 20th with you.
With gratitude,
Eileen and Kevin Kelly
