Doylestown Landscaping Firm Wins Philadelphia Flower Show Trophy

PHILADELPHIA, PA — A Doylestown-based landscaping firm took home a gold medal from the 2021 Philadelphia Flower Show.

Mark Cook Landscape & Contracting came in second place overall, taking home the silver trophy as well as a gold medal in the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Philadelphia Flower Show.

The PHS announced the award winners for the competition on June 23. Located in South Philadelphia’s FDR Park, the Flower Show was held outdoors for the first time in its 193-year history from June 5-13, 2021. Garnering inspiration from the Show’s alfresco location, designers created exhibits utilizing the historical district’s stunning natural beauty as its backdrop.

Categories for the 2021 awards included “Best in Show,” “The Governor’s Trophy,” and “The Philadelphia Trophy” among others.

To judge this year’s landscape creations, The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society handpicked a group of horticultural experts consisting of Flower Show Committee members and gardening professionals.

This year featured the most designers, gardens, and floral displays in the Show’s history, with over 75 unique installations spanning the Show’s 15-acre outdoor footprint for guests to see and interact with.
