Doing Good Together | Bulbs Not Bullets

"We received a beautiful donation of bulbs from American Meadows. PHS has worked in the Mantua Community for several years cleaning, greening, stabilizing vacant lots and creating schoolyard gardens.

A slogan that Mantua uses in their community is “Bulbs Not Bullets” and your bulb donation is helping the community create a safer, more beautiful place to live and work. Some of the bulbs will be planted at the Mantua Recreation Center as well as in church yards, school yards, senior centers, and residents’ homes in the neighborhood.  The community leaders are grateful for this donation and PHS is too."
