Philadelphia has a long and rich history of urban agriculture, gardening and land stewardship. Today, we continue to steward land and form communities around these green spaces but often run into barriers that threaten their existence.

Join the Garden Justice Legal Initiative, Neighborhood Gardens Trust, and Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to learn about the resources each provides to gardens and land stewards in the city. You will hear about pathways for joining or starting a garden, the process that exists to secure land through the Land Bank, and barriers that may come up in our journeys to secure and protect our garden spaces. There will be time at the end to ask questions and share your own experiences with gardening and accessing land in Philadelphia.
