  • Daylily Documentary Screening

    Free Library of Philadelphia 1901 Vine St, Science & Wellness Dept., Room 202, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Daylily is a feature length documentary that explores the devotion surrounding a plant that blooms for only one day. Through the personal stories of gardeners from different backgrounds, the film reflects on the fleeting beauty of life and the quiet meaning found in moments that often pass unnoticed. By observing these flowers, which appear briefly and are found everywhere, the film invites viewers to recognize the same fragility, value, and presence within themselves.

    PHMC 4601 Market Street, Philadlephia, United States

There may be a better, less wasteful way — and it saves money and protects public health. Philly Unwrapped is bringing together restaurant owners, cafés, caterers, corner stores, food trucks, event venues, hospitality operators, community leaders, and public officials
