Over here at the Philadelphia Water Department, there's no shortage of people who proudly wear the \u201cwater geek\u201d badge, and we've also got more than a few proponents of all things green and growing.<\/p>\n

So, you can imagine our delight after learning that the theme of the 2018 Philadelphia Flower Show would be Wonders of Water.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After all, PWD has been a wonder of the water world from the beginning: our Fairmount Water Works<\/a> drinking water plant\u2014surrounded by famous gardens with fountains and sculpture\u2014drew curious visitors like Charles Dickens and Mark Twain from around the globe in the 1800s.<\/p>\n

Now that the show\u2019s final weekend is upon us, we can say that Wonders of Water<\/em> has more than lived up to our nerdiest H2O dreams and grandest go-green expectations.<\/p>\n
