Since its first exhibition in 1829, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) has introduced beautiful new plants, inspiring design concepts, and innovative environmental practices to the American public at its annual show. Having begun as a modest display of fruits, vegetables, and flowers in a 19th-century Masonic Hall, the event expanded into the Philadelphia Civic Center, later completed a 21st-century transformation of 10 acres in the Pennsylvania Convention Center, and blossomed into the world's largest indoor horticultural event--the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show. Today, the nine-day celebration of astonishing gardens and superb floral and landscape design attracts a quarter-million visitors to the city.
Community gardens unite neighbours and friends who plant and tend thriving gardens that provide fresh food and flowers but also fellowship. Community Gardening, by the experts at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, is an indispensable resource for budding and established gardeners who want to work together to transform patches of unused land into bountiful green spaces that nourish and inspire. Community Gardening is full of practical information on everything from securing land for building a garden to working with local businesses and the wider community to sustaining a garden over many years. The full-colour book features examples based on PHS's highly regarded Philadelphia Green program, as well as brief profiles of community gardens in other cities.
