PHENND Fellows: Plant Nursery Programs Coordinator
 
 
 
LandHealth Institute is a nonprofit based in Philadelphia with a mission to restore connections between nature and people. We focus on exploration, immersive at-the-source environmental education, and community-based land revitalization. LandHealth builds environmental awareness and appreciation while enhancing the environmental, social, and economic vitality of the city. For the last 9 years, LandHealth Institute has centralized our nursery operations at West Parkside, and we’ve just moved to East Kensington to reactivate the former Greensgrow Farms site in partnership with New Kensington Community Development Corporation (NKCDC). In year one at the former Greensgrow Farms, we will develop a better understanding of what networks already exist in the service area around the site and identify places where we can plug in and partner. We will be growing crops to donate to our local food pantries, alongside facilitating educational programming for students, neighbors, and community partners, while building our volunteer base. We will develop our container ecosystem products which demonstrate our layered approach to building hardy ecosystems, and by extension, climate resilience, using these as educational tools for empowering our neighbors and program participants.
