Want to check out how Philadelphians are growing food and blooms across the city? There’s a day to get involved on Saturday.

Across the city, more than 50 vibrant and unique community gardens and shared open spaces will be blooming with exciting activities for all ages — from garden tours, workshops, and demonstrations, to music, kids’ activities and BBQs.
