Philadelphia Green Garden Tenders Basic Training course

Posted by on April 14, 2006

Dear Community Leader:

You are invited to participate in the Spring 2006 Philadelphia Green Garden Tenders Basic Training course. This self-help course is designed for people who want to improve their neighborhoods by turning vacant lots into community gardens. Garden Tenders participants learn how to get gardens started, and how to keep them going once the garden is in the ground. The responsibility for building a garden belongs to each group.

The basic training course consists of five classes, Thursdays, April 27th, May 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th, plus a tour of community gardens on Saturday, April 29th.

The classes are held at the Horticultural Society, 100 N. 20th Street (20th & Arch) on the 5th floor.

For more information and an application, contact Sally McCabe, 215-988-8846; email: [email protected]
