Your first visit

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

First step: Find a registered garden on the city's map and contact it, or email farmphilly@phila.gov..

Check with the group before you show up.

What to expect

Each garden is a shared growing space on Parks and Recreation land, and about 500 neighbors grow food together across 19 sites. Farm Philly supplies land access, compost, mulch, wood chips, and supplies, and its staff teach workshops. The city page does not say what a garden charges or when members meet, so ask the garden you contact.

Tips for your first visit

  • Contact the garden before you visit, since the city page does not list visiting hours.
  • Ask about fees, plot rules, and how new members join.
  • Ask Farm Philly about workshops if you are new to growing food.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The city page gives a clear way to find a garden and contact it, and says Farm Philly runs workshops and training for growers..
