Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Register for an upcoming work day on the Philadelphia Orchard Project events page with the Register Now button, or email volunteer@awbury.org to ask about other ways to help..

Check with the group before you show up.

What to expect

A work day is a morning session, such as 9 am to noon, spent helping care for the food forest. The listing does not say what tools or clothing to bring, who leads the day, or whether children may come, so ask when you register.

Tips for your first visit

  • Register first. RSVPing is how you get the detailed directions and updates.
  • The food forest is at 6336 Ardleigh St, a different address from the Awbury office on One Awbury Road.
  • One Awbury page shows a volunteer phone number that differs by one digit from the main number, so email volunteer@awbury.org first if you are unsure which to call.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The Philadelphia Orchard Project listing says volunteers of all ages and skill levels are welcome at planting and orchard care events, and that registering gets you directions..
