PHILADELPHIA, PA -- A glimpse at Roxborough's W.B. Saul High School's Philadelphia Flower Show 2016 exhibit showed them being true to their local roots.

Their exhibit features Forbidden Drive and the Wissahickon Park, even including a rendering of the Valley Green Inn, in an image captured by the Friends of the Wissahickon.

Students at Philadelphia's only agricultural high school have been working on their Philadelphia Flower Show piece for months, often spending long after-schools hours on the project.
