Live in or around the 19125 (or nearby in 19134) zip code? Want to learn about trees?

PHS & the Philly Tree People are hosting a mini Tree Tenders workshop for residents of the 19125 zip code on Wednesday, October 28th at 6pm to 8pm at Coral Street Arts House (2446 Coral Street, Philadelphia PA 19125) as part of the Sustainable 19125 initiative, a partnership between the New Kensington CDC and more than 60 individual residents and groups.

The workshop will cover basic tree care, how trees grow, urban stresses on trees, and a bare root tree planting how-to. You can RSVP to Alice Edgerton at PHS, aedgerton@pennhort.org
