The 1827 Society
We invite you to join the 1827 Society, a circle of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s most generous and engaged supporters, who are committed to PHS's mission to connect people with horticulture, and together build beautiful, healthy and sustainable communities.
If you choose to pay for your membership through a charitable foundation or donor advised fund, please note that PHS is prohibited from sending the Flower Show tickets associated with your membership. For more information contact your fund manager or call 215-988-8894. Additional information regarding donor advised funds and PHS member benefits is available by clicking here.
