Parcelas Garden, 2248 Palethorp Street, Philadelphia, PA

Created between 1980 and 2006 by a collective of women called Grupo Motivos, the Norris Square Neighborhood Project's Gardens are dedicated to Puerto Rican cultural heritage. 

Located in the Kensington neighborhood depicted in the One Book, One Philadelphia 2022 selection, My Broken Language--Quiara Alegria Hudes' memoir of coming of age in 1980s Philly--NSNP's gardens embody many of the stories Hudes shares, reflecting the same era and place the gardens were born. 

Join us for a tour to learn more about these gardens, their history and the culture they celebrate. Refreshments will be provided and we'll draw from My Broken Language for an interactive discussion that celebrates the importance of green spaces in our communities.

We'll meet at Parcelas Garden, located at 2248 Palethorp Street, Philadelphia, PA.

Please RSVP here to attend.
