Editorial, never paid. How the Dad Score works
The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Flower Show fills the Pennsylvania Convention Center with large-scale floral exhibits, a walk-through entrance garden and more than 60 exhibitors. You wander the halls together looking at competition displays, stop at Artisan Row to make something with your hands, and let her loose in the Kids Cocoon while you watch nearby.
Why it works for a dad and child
You move through the exhibits side by side, comparing favourite gardens, and can sit down together to build something at Artisan Row or a Potting Party rather than one of you just watching.
