SWARTHMORE BLOOM!
WHO WE ARE...
The Swarthmore Horticultural Society (SHS) is a volunteer organization dedicated to enhancing Swarthmore's public landscapes. Founded in 2001 by a group of Swarthmore gardeners headed by Charles Cresson, noted horticulturist and author, SHS designs, plants, and maintains gardens in Swarthmore's public spaces for visitors and residents to enjoy from early spring to the onset of winter. SHS gardens now beautify Swarthmore's Borough Hall, Town Clock plaza, Co-op, Gateway Park, Centennial Park, and Post Office.
