Celebrating its fifth year, Bartram’s Garden has produced over 12,000 lbs of food, has held 60 affordable weekly farm stands, and has distributed over 80,000 vegetable transplants through the PHS City Harvest Program to over 130 farms and gardens throughout Philadelphia.
The Bartram staff works alongside 22 paid high school interns and 45 local families. Many of the people Bartram’s works with are low income residents who would otherwise not have access to healthy food choices or a connection to the land from which their food comes from.
