Reason #7 To Do The South Philly Garden Tour

7. Seriously, have you ever heard of someone having a kiwi vine in South Philly?  One of the gardens on our tour does. Find out what other crazy (but perfectly legal!) things are being cultivated in the fertile soil south of Washington Avenue. We're not just talkin' tomatoes here. Twenty (twenty!) gardens all throughout South Philadelphia have signed on to be on the Tour which goes from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, September 10. Gardens range from individual backyards to community gardens to parks. You can visit all the gardens or just target a few since they’re all in a 5-mile radius (perfect for walking or biking).
