Garden R.U.N.’s Almanac

Garden R.U.N (Roxborough United Neighbors) is a community garden founded in 1999 in the hilly Roxborough/Manayunk neighborhood of Philadelphia. There are nearly 30 gardeners, a fish pond, fruit orchard and bee hives. Garden R.U.N. is supported by the Central Roxborough Civic Association.

Since its creation by neighbors the garden has participated in the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society annual City Gardens competition. And since 2007, gardeners have grown and shared produce with area food cupboards as part of City Harvest.
