💚5 Reasons We Love Community Gardens:

1. They support local ecosystems. 🐝

2. They reconnect people with their food. 🥕

3. They build stronger communities. 💕

4. They increase access to healthy food. 🍓

5. They help manage stormwater naturally. 💦

DYK there's a green roof on the southwest side of the Philadelphia Museum of Art? 💚

Green roofs help fight urban heat islands by adding vegetation in places where greenery is limited, especially in big cities like Philly. 🌳

Green roofs = cooler cities, cleaner air, and more climate resilience.

DYK: According to PennState Extension about 33% of the food we eat relies on pollination?

One of the best ways to support pollinators is by planting a variety of native, flowering species.

A messy garden = healthy pollinator (and native insect) populations!
