PHS opens pop-up garden, invites all to dinner

POSTED: Friday, June 22, 2012, 10:26 AM

You’ll want to check out the latest from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society: a pop-up community garden at 20th and Market streets. The garden, sponsored by Chipotle Mexican Grill, is designed to be a hub for the community — a round table, if you will. And you’re invited to dinner. At the pop-up garden, you'll be able to take gardening workshops. Local chefs — including Marcie Turney, Daniel Stern, Guillermo Tellez, Chris Scarduzio, Michael Schulson and Lynn Rinaldi — will also be holding cooking demonstrations at the garden, so visitors can learn to cook from the pros. You’ll never go back to microwavable mac n’ cheese again.

Besides cultivating veggies (and your own green thumb), the pop-up garden will do its part to feed the hungry. The garden’s focus is PHS's City Harvest program, which uses community gardening to provide thousands of families with fresh produce every week. A garden that indulges your inner foodie and does social good? Hats off to you, PHS

The garden opens today, with a celebration from noon to 1 p.m. Check out the PHS website for full hours and schedule.
