The first 200 kids through the door get a free book!
  • Green Drinks: On the first Wednesday of every month, those who work in the environmental field meet up and have simple, unstructured, informal info sessions where people can make connections, find jobs, and develop ideas in the green community. This Wednesday, July 2nd, Green Drink events are taking place in Northern Liberties, Cherry Hill, South Philadelphia, Chester County, and Center City. It’s a great way to network!
  • Wine and Brine at Home with Phickle: On July 2nd, Phickle is hosting an event where people will learn the basics of vegetable fermentation and pickling.
