Veteran's Day - Transformation of Vacant Lot into Community Garden

November 11, 2016

12:00 PM - 04:00 PM EST

Philadelphia Platoon

Event overview

Join the Philly 1st Platoon on Veteran's Day, in transforming two vacant lots in the heart of Kensington into safe places for children and families to enjoy! We will be building garden beds, restoring a fence and planting trees to restore what has previously been an illegal dumping site into a place that the community can be empowered to utilize and maintain! Service Platoons from across the nation will be having Veteran's Day Projects and Philly is excited to give you the opportunity to show the country that Veterans are leaders, celebrate our service and help a community's dreams become reality. This work is being done in partnership with the New Kensington Community Development Corp (NKCDC) and the Kensington community. #IStillServe
