Postal Service honors Betty White with new Forever stamp
A new Betty White Forever stamp is available for First-Class Mail, as the U.S. Postal Service honors the forever golden girl for her career achievements and compassionate spirit. The 73-cent mini tribute to the late "First Lady of Television" was unveiled at the Los Angeles Zoo, as White's love for animals led her to support local shelters, advocate for guide dogs, and serve on the LA Zoo board. The stamp's image of White, who died in 2021, was created based on a 2010 photograph, the USPS said. Artist Dale Stephanos worked on the bubbly and colorful portrait stamp, capturing White's spirit with shades of violet, a polka-dotted blue top and a pawprint earring. "I wanted Betty's huge personality to take center stage," he said. Zoo director and CEO Denise Verret said the actress and comedian left an indelible mark that continues to inspire all generations. "Her passion and commitment to wildlife and conservation was unwavering, and the Los Angeles Zoo was the recipient of her love for nearly 50 years," Verret said. Born in Illinois, White moved to Los Angeles as an infant. As an only child, she developed her lifetime passion for animals while playing with her childhood cats and dogs. She soon caught the acting bug. She paused her career to serve her country during World War II and spent those years as part of the American Women's Voluntary Service. White became a staple in hosting the annual Tournament of Roses and Macy's Thanksgiving Day parades. She starred on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Carol Burnett Show," and on "The Golden Girls." "With this stamp, we honor and remember the beloved 'First Lady of Television' and the enduring mark she left on our American culture," Amber McReynolds, chairwoman of the USPS Board of Governors said. In addition to her five Emmys, White was presented with three Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Grammy Award, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and induction into the Television Hall of Fame, among other honors. She was also widely recognized for her animal welfare work. White died peacefully in her sleep on Dec. 31, 2021, just 17 days shy of her 100th birthday. Customers may purchase stamps through The Postal Store , by calling (844) 737-7826 or at Post Office locations nationwide.

2025 Philadelphia Flower Show will feature BCCC, DelVal students. Here are details
The Philadelphia Flower Show is coming back soon, and this year it's stepping into the future. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society revealed the theme of 2025's Philadelphia Flower Show as 'Gardens of Tomorrow,' showcasing the adaptability and persistence of plants and focusing on sustainability and innovation in gardens. This year's lineup is full of new events and experts who represent some of the top horticulture specialists in the world. And closer to home, for the first time, the flower show will feature a student-created floral exhibition by Bucks County Community College's Floral Design Program, which will offer nine floral and sculpture installations in futuristic arrangements. Meanwhile, Doylestown's Delaware Valley University takes visitors 'Into the Clouds' with a vision of 2150, where technology and ecology intersect to create digital gardening landscapes. Here's what else to know about the event. The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has hosted the Philadelphia Flower Show every year since 1829. It stands as the nation's largest and the world's longest-running horticultural event, showcasing displays from professional horticulturists and landscape designers, educational series, activities and more. Each year, the flower show displays a different theme corresponding to the trends of the year. In 2020, International Festivals & Events Association named the Philadelphia Flower Show as the best event in the world, beating out cultural juggernauts like the Kentucky Derby, Tournament of Roses, Indianapolis 500 and more. PHS is a nonprofit organization that uses horticulture as a way to advance health and well-being in local communities. Proceeds from the Philadelphia Flower Show go toward causes such as providing fresh food for communities, providing stormwater management solutions, workforce development, planting trees and more. The 2025 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show will take place from Saturday, March 1, to Sunday, March 9, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Convention Center is located at 1101 Arch St., Philadelphia. From March 1 to 8, the event will be held from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. On the final day, March 9, the event will close early at 6 p.m. The 2025 Philadelphia Flower Show theme is 'Gardens of Tomorrow.' 'The 2025 Philadelphia Flower Show is a celebration of innovation, resilience and creativity in gardening,' said Seth Pearsoll, vice president and creative director of the Philadelphia Flower Show. 'This year's theme, by design, invokes a sense of optimism, highlighting how planting something today is a small gesture that promotes a brighter future.' Sweet stuff: Cool Delaware things to do in February 2025 for Eagles fans, Valentines, mystery buffs Dozens of exhibitions, events, educational opportunities and interactive activities will be on display throughout the week of the show. One of the hallmark displays this year will be a representation of a 'future flower,'' designed by world-famous floral designers Lily Beelen, Mike Boerma, Berit Laursen and Ahti Lyra. The flower's design is meant to represent hope, resilience and the promise of the future. The display will be unveiled on the show's opening day. Other installations include 'Don't Call It Dirt, Don't Call it Trash,' a transformative garden that repurposes 'garbage' like glass, jars, bottles, woody debris and more into compost that feeds the installation's garden. New exhibitionists are making their way to the flower show, such as Philadelphia-native Bloom Bold & Co., which will create an exhibit that explores the value of concentrating time and effort into the next generation of gardeners and environmental stewards. Returning to the show is the Know to Grow lecture series, which brings horticulture experts to lead presentations on topics like garden design, vegetable gardening, native plants, houseplants and more. Vendors will also set up shop around the convention center, where people can create fresh flower crowns, candles, custom scents, bouquets, accessories and more. Even more events will be held throughout the week ranging from family days to late-night dance parties. Find out more on the PHS website. Tickets can be purchased on the PHS website. PHS members can get discounted tickets for the event. Ticket prices depend on the day of the event. Typically, weekday prices will be cheaper than weekend days. One adult ticket on a weekday goes for around $40, but for a weekend is $50. Floral Fanatic Passes are available for unlimited daily access to the flower show all week long, plus an exclusive Philadelphia Flower Show gift bag.
