Philly Urban Creators is one of a number of organizations in Philadelphia that is using urban agriculture to try to make the city a better place for all of its citizens. As the group’s website explains, it “is a grassroots organization rooted in North Philadelphia, transforming neglected landscapes into dynamic safe-spaces that foster connectivity, self-sufficiency, and innovation.”
Members of the group are community organizers “who utilize urban agriculture, interest-based learning, artistic expression, restorative justice, and celebration as tools for neighborhood stabilization and youth development.” The organization’s headquarters is Life Do Grow Farm, in north Philadelphia at 2315 N. 11th St. The Huffington Post recently posted a video of a visit by one of its reporters to the farm last summer.
