PHS Pop Up Garden on South Street

PHS Pop UP Garden

‘A Relaxing Temporary Outdoor Escape’

The PHS Pop UP Garden is back in its 8th year!  The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society kicks off their 2018 Pop Up Garden April 26, which is located on 1438 South Street.

PHS Pop Up GardenImagine yourself in a secluded area with an outdoor bar, palm trees, colorful umbrellas with seating and hammocks, as visitors will be able to enjoy tropical cocktails, beer and wine.

Feeling hungry? As part of the Pop Up Garden, enjoy delicious food, refreshing drinks and exciting events from The Royal Tavern and friends. There will also be some food trucks visiting from time to time.

Programs and special events will be organized at the garden throughout the spring, the summer and early fall, to include live music. Keep checking back here or at PHS’s web site listed below for the full schedule.

At night, the garden will be illuminated by Moroccan-style fixtures, twinkling lights strung through the Mulberry tree, and a variety of plants that will “glow” in the dark. Crawling dichondra, flowering plants, and rustic structures will create unique garden “rooms” that welcome visitors of all ages.

So come on out for some summertime fun, mingle at the PHS Pop Up Garden and enjoy good food and drinks. Proceeds from the Pop Up Garden support PHS City Harvest, which creates green jobs and brings together a network of community gardeners, who grow fresh, healthy produce for families in need.

Upcoming Events

May 3 – May 6: The Grand Opening of the PHS Pop Up Garden on South Street kicks off on Thursday May 3rd, filled with a weekend full of Cinco de Mayo festivities and fun.
