Furtick Farms- October Work Day

We will be partnering with Furtick Farms, a grassroots farm operation located behind the Nicetown Community Development Corporation (CDC). Jolley-Furtick, garden manager, is passionate about gardening and giving back. As an avid home gardener, associate dean, high school sports coach, and resident of Nicetown-Tioga in North Philadelphia, she is embedded in many aspects of the local community. Through her active community engagement, she was introduced to PHS and to Samir Dalal, a PHS Project Manager working in her neighborhood to engage residents to help create a 3-year greening plan.

Potential projects for the day may include: tree planting, harvesting, light construction of benches/seating.
