Mantua Urban Peace Garden

Giving back where we live and work. Our crew volunteers its time and skills at a 2½-acre community farm in West Philadelphia’s Mantua neighborhood.

The Mantua Urban Peace Garden sits at 37th and Brown Streets. It opened in 2013 on what had been a vacant lot for years, built by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society with Drexel University and Mantua residents. Today neighbors grow vegetables and herbs in raised beds, and the garden gives the block fresh food and green space.

Our project manager, Marlin Newsome, serves on the garden’s board as treasurer, and our crew pitches in wherever the garden needs a hand. We handle repairs around the site, build raised flower beds and tables for growers and visitors, clear overgrown brush, and haul debris away in our own dump truck, so the growers can focus on growing.
