Visit the Garden!
Join us in the garden at Fort Mifflin on the Delaware! During visits, our garden educators immerse children in the garden where they learn how food is grown, harvested, and prepared. Each lesson includes gardening, nutrition, and outdoor education.
What to expect when you visit
Garden Exploration
Taste Tests
Planting Seeds
Children use all of their senses to explore the garden and learn about fruits and vegetables grown right here in Philadlephia
Taste tests are always seasonal and involve a fresh off the vine snack along with a recipe using vegetable from the garden
Every child gets to plant and water their own flower seed. Put them on a windowsill at home or in the classroom to watch them grow!
