The Green City Teachers training program is designed to provide Philadelphia educators with the skills necessary to integrate horticultural and environmental education into curricula, after-school programs and service-learning projects, and to help students appreciate the role of nature in their lives.
This PHS initiative is made possible by a generous grant from the Burpee Foundation, a nonprofit offshoot of the 130-year-old W. Atlee Burpee & Co. The renowned seed supplier is involved with numerous charitable causes, both nationally and abroad.
Burpee CEO and president George Ball says, “We’re thrilled to help provide young people with what I call ‘plant literacy.’ Both PHS and Burpee have long legacies in Philadelphia, so it’s fitting that we collaborate to help the next generation connect with the environment.”
