Roxborough School Prepares For Philadelphia Flower Show: Report

ROXBOROUGH -- A local high school will have some of their work featured at the upcoming Philadelphia Flower Show, an international event.

Roxborough’s W.B. Saul High School of Agricultural Sciences will have their work on display at the Show from March 5 to 13, according to a report.

The show, has a theme of "Explore America' in honor of the National Park Service's centennial celebration.

Saul students responded appropriately, according to Montgomery News:

“Our focus is the Valley Green Inn and that part of the park, so we’re building the inn, we’re having a bridge, we’re having the creek as a water feature and Forbidden Drive,” Blum told Montgomery News. “We’re emphasizing the way the valley works with the mountains and the hills, how it’s very steep as it goes into the creek and it’s pretty unique that way.”

The exhibit has been underway for months, the report states, and students often stay after school to work on it.

Saul, which has the distinction of being the only agricultural-focused school in Philadelphia, has an exhibit at the Flower Show every year.
