Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS)’s Post

Our "Love Where You Live” Front Porch Challenge isn't just about creating beautiful gardens, it's about cultivating a sense of community pride and ownership. In Nicetown and Tioga, PHS works alongside residents to transform blocks into vibrant green spaces, fostering a love for gardening and promoting a cleaner, safer neighborhood. The 2000 block of Venango St. stands as a testament to the transformative power of gardening — this year, every single house on this block rose to the challenge!

A little slice of PHS history: The Gardenmobile 🌱🛻 During its time on the road (1974 - 1984), the PHS Gardenmobile brought seedlings, soil, and education to neighborhoods and gardeners all across the city. Today, PHS staff provide resources to community gardens, maintain public gardens, and lead educational workshops in our various green spaces all over the region.
