SWWAG Workshop: Potted Perennial Fruits and Herbs

October 15, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Sankofa Community Farm

Pots and containers can be a simple way to increase our growing space. For many of us in urban spaces, growing perennial plants in pots can provide a source of fresh culinary essentials in small outdoor spaces. They add beauty and life to the spaces we spend our time. We’ll discuss plant selections, soil mixes, maintenance, and seasonal care for potted perennial fruits and herbs.

Led by Corrie and Caro from the Philly Orchard Project. (beginner-level), as part of our annual HarvestFest programming. We hope you’ll stay for the rest of the free festivities.
