The Philadelphia Orchard Project is a nonprofit organization that plants and supports community orchards in the city of Philadelphia.
In partnership with communities, we envision urban ecosystems that create beautiful green spaces, connect neighbors, provide hands-on learning experiences, and grow fresh fruit for generations to come. Since 2007, POP has worked with community-based groups and volunteers to plan and plant orchards filled with useful and edible plants in neighborhoods across the city. POP provides orchard design assistance, plant materials, and training in orchard care. Community organizations own, maintain, and harvest the orchards, expanding community-based food production. This channel serves as a learning resource for our community partners and the wider fruit-growing and urban orchardist community. Learn more about our work at phillyorchards.org
