Burpee is planting it forward by donating ✨500,000✨ seed packets to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society! In the spirit of this year’s Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) Philadelphia Flower Show theme, #UnitedByFlowers, these seeds will benefit hundreds of Greater Philadelphia schools and community gardens. Along with putting on the world-famous Philadelphia Flower Show each spring, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society uses horticulture to advance the health and well-being of the region. The donation and distribution will bolster the nonprofit and Burpee’s commitment to bettering Greater Philadelphia through education, environmental improvement, and community unity. The seed packets will be distributed throughout the growing season at upcoming events and workshops, including: 🌸 Love Where You Live workshops in the Nicetown and Tioga neighborhoods 🏫 School planting days aimed at helping kids connect with gardening and the environment 🪴Garden Tenders workshops for setting up or maintaining community gardens 📚 PHS's tool lending library accessible to community gardens 🥗 50 City Harvest community gardens, which provide local food banks, soup kitchens and neighborhood food distributions with fresh food When you shop Burpee, you help spread the joy of gardening to others, and we’re so grateful to you. 💚
