Plans are in the works to develop the former Greensgrow Farms in Olde Richmond into an Urban Agricultural Educational Hub that will bring community members together, encourage care for the neighborhood, improve access to healthy food and nutrition, and be a catalyst for even more parks, gardens and community spaces across the Kensington area and Philadelphia. 

Six Kensington parks have been chosen to receive Opioid Settlement funding. “Friends of the park” groups are inviting neighbors to attend public meetings to help plan how the money is spent. This process is the first example of community-driven planning that will soon include “pockets” of people across Kensington.
