LandHealth Institute has spent the last nine years empowering Philadelphians to connect with nature through our teaching nursery at West Parkside. Beginning in 2026, we moved our nursery operations to the former Greensgrow Farms at 2501 E Cumberland St in Kensington, Philadelphia. We are thrilled to begin this new chapter as one of NKCDC's partners, activating this site through events, educational programming, and native plant retail.
We are open for regular programs, including monthly Wonder Walks and weekly plant chats to provide guidance surrounding home gardening. In addition, we offer our services for native landscape projects. If you’d like to reach out, please contact saramae@landhealthinstitute.org.
LandHealth Institute takes pride in the revitalization of underutilized urban land, cultivating species variations specific to our local ecosystem, to support land health across our neighborhoods and region.
Native plants create functional and beautiful landscapes that require less maintenance than traditional gardens. Our plants are cultivated with Philadelphia in mind to attract species most important to our ecosystem... songbirds, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
