As PlanPhilly’s JoAnn Greco recently reported, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s PHS Pops-Up Garden has returned for the second year running. This year a long-vacant lot on the 1900 block of Walnut Street has been transformed with raised beds bursting with plants in tropical hues, framing a long picnic table surrounded by brightly painted chairs.
It’s a beautiful and temporary intervention at one of the city’s most high-visibility tax-delinquent properties.
