Volunteer for the PHS Pop Up Garden

May 24, 2014 / APAPA-SE / Comments Off

Every year, PHS Pop Up Gardens transform neglected spaces into lush and inviting places for all to enjoy. Combining cutting-edge design, outdoor art, and landscape innovation, the gardens showcase the work that PHS performs in communities all year long. PHS Pop Up Gardens leave a lasting impact by shining a light on vacant spaces with potential for redevelopment, as well as promoting the power of greening to transform cities.

From June through mid-October, we will be transforming an empty lot in Center City into a beautiful garden with daily food offerings, a nighttime beer garden, and ongoing entertainment!For the past three years, volunteers have been key to making garden visits a friendly, enjoyable and educational experience. We hope you will join us this year in welcoming our guests, helping to maintain the beautiful garden, and sharing the mission of PHS to create a sense of community through horticulture.

Although operational hours of the garden will extend into weekends and nights, we are requesting volunteer support for Mondays through Fridays, 11 AM – 2 PM. We highly encourage volunteers to sign up for multiple shifts throughout the summer and fall, in order to gain a complete picture of PHS and the Pop Up Garden. Volunteers will receive an orientation, a t-shirt and invitations to events and parties held at the Pop Up.

Feel free to invite a friend to join you for your shift; the garden is too much fun not to share!
