A nursery, farm market, and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program in Philadelphia, PA

"Greensgrow is THE nationally recognized leader in urban farming and is open to the public from early spring through Christmas. A small but dedicated staff runs a multifaceted operation, including a nursery, a farm market, and a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, proving that abandoned land is only abandoned if we choose to leave it that way."
