About the project

A 2023–2024 partnership strengthening community-grown care practices through documentation and capacity building at Pentridge Children’s Garden, a Black-led West Philadelphia garden founded in 1992. Milestones included a Land-Based Restorative Practice Training (Aug 2023), a Community Advisory Board (Aug 2024), a Summer Land and Wellness Study Series (June–Sept 2024), a completed Revitalization Plan, and a Digital Archive launched in September 2024. Documented in the Many Hands Make Light Work Zine, Summer 2024. This pilot partnership has since concluded.
