Embrace the beauty of fall with Fairmount Park Conservancy, Greener Partners, and Botanic Village on Sunday, October 29 from 9:30–11:30 AM. Dig into soil, smell herbs, taste freshly harvested vegetables, and even learn how to use the pedal power of a bike with Greener Partners’ popular Farm Explorer mobile. The Farm Explorer mobile brings seed-to-plate education to schools and community organizations. After tasting some fall flavors, join Botanic Village, a southeast Philadelphia florist, and make a mini flower bouquet* featuring vibrant fall flowers and foliage.

*Limited to the first 50 participants

Families can drop in anytime between 9:30–11:30 AM. Registration is appreciated but not required. All ages are welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
