I thought what an excellent way to get people really involved and interested in our country&#8217;s national park system and to discover the range of backgrounds that the park system holds. From historical properties to national monuments there is a little something for everyone to enjoy.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">The good news didn&#8217;t end there though for myself and other fellow ProRangers. We have been given the gracious opportunity to help assist Temple University&#8217;s Landscape Architecture students in this year&#8217;s flower show. The students have been hard at work studying and creating an exhibit that honors Hopewell Furnace National Historical Site. I am extremely excited to see what they have put together and to support them at the flower show. Not only is this a great opportunity for myself and others, but for myself I am grateful to be apart of something that many years ago my great uncle worked at as well. He owned Valley Forge Arborist, just a couple miles outside of Valley Forge National Historical Park and he too had a booth at the Philadelphia Flower Show back in the 1960s.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">Unfortunately I do not have any photos to share just yet, but be sure to check back or come and check out the Philadelphia Flower Show yourself from Saturday, March 5 to Sunday, March 13!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-ugzFrC4SykU\/VsHeXqdsSsI\/AAAAAAAAAFk\/qWU3Mn3P2Vc\/s1600\/Calendar_Panel.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-ugzFrC4SykU\/VsHeXqdsSsI\/AAAAAAAAAFk\/qWU3Mn3P2Vc\/s320\/Calendar_Panel.jpg\" width=\"301\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was pretty excited to hear that the theme of the 2016 Philadelphia Flower Show would be in honor of the 100 year anniversary of&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/2016\/02\/15\/2016-philadelphia-flower-show-celebrates-100-years-of-the-national-park-service\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">2016 Philadelphia Flower Show Celebrates 100 years of the National Park Service<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,88,61],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-80","category-daniel-bussell","category-special-events-and-activities","entry"],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Paul Paire","author_link":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/author\/paire\/"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/484\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/prorangerblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
