🌿🌼 Last month was National Garden Month! 🌱✨

From vibrant rain gardens to buzzing pollinator paradises, Philly's gardens are blooming with purpose! 🌼🐝 Here's why these green havens are so crucial:

🌧️ Rain Gardens: Combatting stormwater runoff, these gardens absorb rainwater, preventing flooding and protecting our waterways.

🌾 Native Gardens: Bursting with native plants, they conserve water, support local wildlife, and preserve Philly's natural spaces.

🥕 Edible/Community Gardens: These plots not only provide fresh, nutritious produce but also promote local sustainability and community resilience.

🦋 Pollinator Gardens: A buzzing hub for bees, butterflies, and more, they ensure crucial pollination for our crops and wildflowers, fostering biodiversity and food security.

Let's celebrate these green gems and cultivate a greener, healthier Philly together! What type of garden are you currently growing? 🏙️🌱
