Trees can make a world of difference in our lives and serve as the inspiration for the 2009 Kids Grow Expo theme, "Trees, Please."
Trees are our friends, especially for children. They view trees as a shady retreat on a hot summer day, a sturdy foundation for a swing or clubhouse, or the perfect spot to become invisible in a game of hide and seek.
Our hope is that "Trees, Please" will expand a child's view to see trees as a natural resource that provides us with fresh air, building material and paper, and a shelter for wildlife.
Join us for a Tree-mendous Expo!
DOWNLOAD A KIDS GROW EXPO AND JUNIOR FLOWER SHOW BOOKLET.
The Kids Grow Expo is a horticultural exhibition by and for school age children in the greater Philadelphia region.
Sponsored by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society as an educational project, the Expo creates an awareness of horticulture and the natural environment and encourages active participation of youth in growing, gardening, and related activities.
The Kids Grow Expo partners with Temple University Ambler EarthFest allowing youngsters to celebrate Earth Day with a number of activities and interactive displays related to environmental awareness.
The Kids Grow Expo, a free event, includes educational exhibits, service learning projects, and competitive classes as part of the Junior Flower Show.
We recognize the dedication of all the teachers and youth leaders who encourage their charges to plant a seed, make a flower arrangement, or create a crafty creature!
We share with them the hope that they may be grooming a “budding” horticulturist, inspiring a future artist, or encouraging the next generation of gardeners!
