Grow Philly's goal at Kingsessing Orchard is to turn a vacant lot into a sustainable, raised-bed orchard that yields high-quality, low-cost produce for the community.

The Kingsessing Orchard grows:

peaches chestnuts hazelnuts figs pears blueberries

cherries blackberries asparagus strawberries flowers

...using a sustainable water system. Plants are chosen to be long-living and resistant to climate change. The orchard will host seasonal farmers markets.
