Transforming Lives through Horticulture

The Garden Club of Michigan and the Grosse Pointe Garden Center are pleased to co-sponsor this lecture at the Fred M. Alger Community Room of the Grosse Pointe War Memorial.

The Pennsylvania Horticulture Society believes in the power of horticulture to make positive social and environmental change. As a community, we invest our time, passion, and money into public gardens and landscapes that further our cause.

• over 170 community gardens,
• planting and caring for thousands of street trees,
• establishing stormwater solutions,
• cleaning and greening over 12,000 parcels of vacant land,
• maintaining public gardens and landscapes, and
• producing the iconic Philadelphia Flower Show.
