Join Matt Rader, President of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS), as he shares insight into PHS’s mission to advance health and well-being through horticulture. PHS believes in the power of horticulture to make positive social and environmental change. It invests time, passion, and money into public gardens and landscapes that further that cause. PHS was founded in 1827. While many things have changed over time, its main focus has not wavered. Driven by a diverse community of more than 300,000 supporters, volunteers, and gardeners, PHS uses all its activities to advance four impact priorities:
• Creating healthy living environments
• Increasing access to fresh food
• Expanding economic opportunity
• Building meaningful social connections
In this talk, Matt will explore PHS’s work supporting a network of over 170 community gardens, planting and caring for thousands of trees annually, establishing stormwater solutions, cleaning and greening over 13,000 parcels of vacant land, maintaining beloved public gardens and landscapes, and of course, producing the iconic PHS Philadelphia Flower Show. He will demonstrate how all of these unique programs and events help PHS deliver impact within communities, create beauty, and bring joy.
