When I went to Philadlephia last weekend, I made a side trip to Urban Jungle with fellow garden bloggers Robin Horton and Laura Matthews.
Urban Jungle's open garage door entry
Located in the Passyunk section of South Philly, the three year old organic garden center has embraced its creative neighborhood and its limited footprint. The storefront features two vertical gardens that even in early March were beautiful in the winter foliage colors.

Using the industrial street level space as for pots, accessories and books, the actual nursery is on the roof.

As someone used to large country gardens, one of things that struck me was that everything was on smaller scale…perfect for a city garden. Go to Urban Jungle next time you’re in Philadelphia…it’s worth a visit.
