Calling all Northeast Philadelphia farmers, gardeners, and beekeepers! Join us for the evening to mix, mingle, and share resources on all things agriculture. Relax and enjoy the shade of tall sunflowers as we enter the fall season! During this gathering, you’ll have the opportunity to network with other growers, learn about agricultural events in the greater Philly area, and share resources about growing food, starting a farm business, starting your own community garden, and more! You’ll also hear from staff at Heroic Gardens, Philadelphia Farm Service Agency, Pasa Sustainable Agriculture, and Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. This event is open to all new and seasoned growers, including vegetable, fruit, and flower farmers and beekeepers in the Northeast Philadelphia region and surrounding areas.

About the host/speaker(s)

Since 2018, Heroic Garden has been connecting Veterans and their families to the healing power of plants and nature—creating pathways for wellness, purpose, and community. Our work is rooted in the understanding that time spent outdoors, working with plants, can support emotional well-being while creating space for connection and shared experience.

The Sunflower Farm at Pennypack has expanded this impact by opening our model to the broader community. What began as Veteran-centered programming now brings Veterans, civilians, families, and volunteers together in a shared, welcoming environment. This intentional integration creates opportunities for authentic connection, helping to bridge gaps that often exist between military and civilian life.
