PHS Philadelphia Flower Show
March 2-10, 2013
The Flower Show offers select organizations an extraordinary opportunity to reach one of the country's most influential consumer markets. As the largest indoor flower show in the world, the Flower Show sets the standard for gardening events across the nation.
WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Census data reveals that 49 million Americans struggle with food insecurity, including 16.7 million children. Philadelphia is hardly immune from this troubling trend, as every morning residents wake up hungry with limited access to food. Oftentimes the most affordable options are the least nutritious, creating dietary habits that result in heart disease, diabetes, and other afflictions.
PHS fights hunger through City Harvest. A partnership with equally committed organizations across Philadelphia, City Harvest has grown and donated 180,000 lbs of fresh produce—helping to feed 1,000 families each week of the growing season.
Proceeds from the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show, including ticket sales, directly support City Harvest and other vital PHS programs.
