POP has planted orchards with a diverse range of community-based organizations throughout Philadelphia.
A collection of handouts, curriculum, recipes, links and other resources to support community orchards.
Join us at community events including plantings, work days, workshops, and harvest festivals across the city.
POP works with community-based groups and volunteers to plan and plant orchards filled with useful and edible plants in formerly vacant lots, community gardens, schoolyards, and other spaces, primarily in low-wealth neighborhoods where people have limited access to fresh fruit. We provide orchard design assistance, plant materials, and training in orchard care. Community organizations own, maintain, and harvest the orchards, expanding community-based food production, environmental benefits, and opportunities for nature education. Learn More »
