Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Email Parks and Recreation's stewardship office (pprstewardship@phila.gov) and ask to be connected with this Friends group and whether beds are open..
What to expect
We could not confirm what a visit is like today. In 2021 news coverage the garden was still being built on the playground grounds, with a goal of 50 raised beds rented each year. Ask the stewardship office whether beds are open and when work days are, before you travel to the site.
Tips for your first visit
- Confirm with the stewardship office that the garden is operating before you go.
- The garden is on the grounds of Pleasant Playground at 6757 Chew Ave.
- Ask about the current bed fee, since the only price found is from 2021.
Newcomer welcome
Takes some effort for newcomers (2 out of 5). Why we say this: The garden's own website now leads to an unrelated site and the newest coverage found is from 2021, so the only route we could confirm is an email to the city's stewardship office..
