I didn’t go this year. Every year I’ve gone, I would have rather spent the day at Longwood Gardens.

They sells seeds and bulbs. Or at least they did. Probably a couple of flowers around. They have some flower pots. My wife got inspired to do a banzai tree some years ago and bought some various supplies for that.

Do the vendors sell flowers? Or can you buy actual flowers there?

It's worth half that, these prices are crazy

No anymore man.

I might be the only nay, but I recommend against penn dental (the actual practice, not the dental school). The hygienists are amazing, but even with the $$$ Penn dental insurance, there was a two year period that I didn’t get to see a single dentist. The dentists were always running about an hour late (even at 7:45am), so there was no rhyme or reason for the constant lateness. No one ever thought to ask why I hadn’t been seen for two years by a dentist (they didn’t have 5 minutes for me even after cleanings)…so I decided to get another (cheaper) insurance and move out of that. I’ve been happy ever since, but again, this doesn’t help OP as I am talking about insurance. I would also check on Nextdoor as I’ve seen a couple of dental students offering their services as well; focusing on those that cannot pay. If I can find the one I saw a couple of weeks ago, I’ll send a message.

Mbit out in the bucks county area does a low cost service for adults with no insurance.

Every little bit helps. Explains why they didn’t put that in the ad.

This is the only correct answer.

Still generally, no. But, paying in advance for the annual plant 🪴 giveaways and access to the PHS special gardens & libraries could be worthwhile... If you’re into proper use of spades ♠️ & hoes -but at that point you'd be looking to get featured as opposed to spectating an enormous grift.

Edit: Those membership tix also come with a guest discount.

I recommend getting the membership that comes with two tickets.

yes, great org too who do so much for city

I agree. I missed the incredible flower smell when you walked in the convention center when it was in FDR. I’m so happy they moved it back. I appreciate seeing all the flowers so much more in March. In June it’s not as special.

Penn Dental hands down. They did my bone graft for an implant 20 years ago, and I'd go there now again if I needed to. I only see Penn dentists still. Lol.

I just tried this looks like 3 bucks on 2 tickets.

If you enjoy nature and art, and want to experience something quintessentially Philadelphia, it’s worth doing at least once.

SEPTA Regional Rail stations have tickets at a discount

If you need affordable cleanings try dental hygiene schools. Harcum College in Bryn Mawr right next to the Paoli/Thorndale (R5) regional rail. $20 for a cleaning. It takes a few hours because it’s a teaching clinic and it could take a few visits.
