Manayunk is in full bloom this time of year - especially the businesses participating in the Philadelphia Flower Show’s annual "Bloom Philly!" contest. Businesses across the Greater Philadelphia area can create displays or special items befitting “Habitat: Nature’s Masterpiece!", the Flower Show’s theme this year.

Once again this year, businesses can enter the competition by creating a display in their store in theme with the Flower Show. Owners can create the displays themselves or collaborate with a professional designer. To qualify, businesses must feature their homage to the Flower Show for a minimum of 2-weeks any time from April 26 to May 24.

For the first time ever, the Flower Show also is allowing food & beverage businesses to enter the contest by featuring flower-inspired menu items. To enter, businesses must feature their specials for a 2-week period from April 26 to May 10.

Several businesses, including Pet Friendly Dog Bakery, Tubby Robot Ice Cream Factory, Vamp Boutique, Winnie's Manayunk, Crust Vegan Bakery, Philadelphia Runner, and Lila rose to the occasion, and their submissions are blooming amazing!
