In 2012, Philly Socialists and our friends and neighbors converted vacant land into a community garden and people's park. Together, we continue to run youth programs, food distribution, and organize against gentrification and displacement in our neighborhood.

The Iglesias Gardens aim to preserve a space for the people. Through providing multigenerational activities for our community, creating harmony and balance with local ecosystems, and growing edible fruits and vegetables and plant medicine, we pay tribute to stolen land and develop a network of support for our future generations.

The work of Iglesias Gardens builds and defends resilient communities.
