The @abingtonsrhigh garden club is exhibiting for the 16th year at the @phsgardening Philadelphia Flower Show. This year’s theme is "garden electric," and the students are exhibiting in the interiorscapes class, “Sweatpants Not Included," where they were challenged to create a home office.
The members of the Garden Club chose to create a playroom, because play is the work of the child. They titled their exhibit, “WORK IS PLAY IS WORK". #ASDProud #FlowerShow
