ANNUAL APPEAL

A beautiful garden

You know that Phipps is a place that changes the way you see the world
in so many ways.

In our visits to Phipps, we see children lifted to their parents’ shoulders, gazing up with wonder at the magnificent Chihuly chandelier. We witness rows of schoolchildren with palms raised high over their heads to imitate the tropics’ canopy layer of trees. We watch visitors take a pleasingly adventurous trip through time, from the classic Victorian beauty of our 1893 glasshouse to the eco-friendly technologies of the Tropical Forest.

Please help keep the wonder alive. Your support enables us to educate thousands on what it means to be good stewards of planet Earth. Your support gives people of all ages a deeper appreciation of plant-life, eco-innovations, botany, garden aesthetics, and nature's gentle lessons.

Admission and membership revenue cover just 17 percent of daily operating costs. Your support will sustain the superb programs of this 117-year-old civic treasure for you, and your friends and neighbors, today and for generations hence. Please join us and help nurture the human spirit here and around the world through Phipps, the Green Heart of Pittsburgh and one of the world’s greenest gardens.

Yours sincerely,
