Outfielder Nick Williams, ballgirls, director of Public Affairs Scott Palmer and the Phillie Phanatic joined Logan Hope Elementary School children kids as they planted a tree together at Logan Library on Tuesday.
A tree is planted as part of the program for every home run a Phillies' player hits.
This is seventh year of the program and 888 trees have been planted.
The program is a collaboration with PGW in support of Pennsylvania Horticultural Society' Plant One Million campaign that encompasses 13 counties in southeastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey and Delaware.
