About Philadelphia Green

Last updated May, 20, 2008

A program of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Philadelphia Green® is the nation’s most comprehensive urban greening program. Since 1974, Philadelphia Green has supported the development and ongoing care of community gardens, neighborhood parks and high-profile public green spaces in Philadelphia.

Working in partnership with neighborhood residents, community organizations and city agencies, the program uses greening as a community building tool. It educates and empowers people to make the city a more attractive and livable place through horticulture.

Proceeds from the annual Philadelphia Flower Show—along with support from foundations, corporations, government agencies, and individuals—help support Philadelphia Green.

Businesses can learn the facts about how greening can increase property values, retain jobs, and improve your community. Sign up here to receive information year round.
