A Farm for the City, in Center City
This summer, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has opened Farm for the City, a pop-up urban agriculture project on Thomas Paine Plaza, next to the Municipal Services Building. The project highlights the role community gardeners play in strengthening neighborhoods and the gardens' positive impact on some of the most pressing issues facing our communities, such as food insecurity. The interactive exhibit and working farm invites the public to learn more about community gardening through free workshops, public forums, and activities during the growing season. The farm is open Monday-Friday: 8am-8pm, Saturday and Sunday: 10am–6pm.
Farm for the City, 1401 John F. Kennedy Boulevard, 215.988.8800, PHSOnline.org
