Temple Community Garden is a student-run organization at Temple University that strives to teach everyone a bit about gardening. Our motto is “Empowering the Philadelphia community to connect with their City, Land and Life.” We work with students and the community and give lessons on how to care for crops and watch your garden grow. One of the programs we run is located at Penrose Playground in North Philadelphia. We create lessons on gardening for the kids there and assist them in homework help.
Primex has supported the efforts of TCG over the past few years, initially with supplies for their first garden on Temple’s Main Campus and again with their partnerships with the Urban Roots program, which teaches green skills and entrepreneurship at John Welsh Elementary School.
