Phillies games will be more fun than ever, as the team and Aramark pair up to revitalize Citizens Park, which is the large seating area adjacent to Citizens Field.

It’s a groovy trip back to the summer of love at this year’s Philadelphia Flower Show, which has gone hippie this year with a “Flower Power” theme.
