Burpee Gardening’s Post

We’re so happy to partner with our friends at Rodale Institute. 🍅💥 Thank you for the inspiring day!

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. 💚

Wow! We’re still smiling after our best Burpee Open yet. Thank you to our community of gardeners for joining us for such a special day.  Last weekend we welcomed thousands of guests to Fordhook Farm in Doylestown, PA. Visitors were invited to tour the gardens and grounds, listen to guest speakers, and enjoy live music, children’s activities, food trucks and more. Purchased by founder W. Atlee Burpee in 1888, Fordhook Farm is where we breed and trial plants, and the historic property isn't always open to the public. The Burpee Open is an annual tradition that dates to the 1800s! Back then, the public was invited for a "farmer's picnic" and encouraged to explore the farm and meet the Burpee master gardeners. The Burpee Open continues to be a free, fun-filled day of garden inspiration and a special peek behind the scenes at Burpee. We hope to see you at Fordhook next year!
