LandHealth Institute takes pride in the revitalization of underutilized urban land, which is why our native plant nursery sits on previously vacant land in the Parkside neighborhood in the heart of West Philadelphia. LandHealth cultivates 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.
Please contact Steve@landhealthinstitute.org and/or Harry@landhealthinstitute.org if you wish to visit the site to browse and purchase plants we’re growing in the nursery. Orders can be placed through the online order form, in-person, or over the phone. If you’re interested in volunteering, there are plenty of ways you can contribute, and we can sign off on hours if you’re looking to fulfill a requirement. Stop by 1761 N 49th St anytime our gate is open, or by appointment (there’s free street parking)!
