Planting Orchards in Philly




Spreading the Word:


The Philadelphia Orchard Project

General Mission Statement: "To plant orchards in the city of Philadelphia that provide healthy food, green spaces and community food security".


Upcoming Events:

"We invite you to participate in this season’s POP events, working alongside volunteers from our community partners to plant orchards all over the city. Volunteers of all ages and skill levels are welcome. These events involve digging, planting, and spreading compost and mulch, so expect to get dirty. We can’t guarantee tools for all; if you bring your own, it is advisable to write your name on them. Snacks and beverages to share are also welcome. Planting events can generally be expected to last between 2 and 4 hours."

You can sign on the volunteer email list for up-to-date info on events and or learn more about the project in general at
