During 2011, the Greenfield Home and School Association has been constructing an outdoor classroom in the "Secret Garden" at 23rd and Chestnut Streets with volunteer parents and students installing cobblestone pavers donated by Brandywine Realty Trust salvaged from the 30th Street Post Office Renovation and Restoration Project.
Students have started planting the new flower beds in the rejuvenated Secret Garden. The apple tree, raspberries, and grapes are flourishing with the new care and attention from Greenfield School partners like the Philadelphia Orchard Project and master gardener Martin Warman.
The Greening Greenfield Committee is organizing an E-Cycle Event to raise funds for outdoor classroom furniture so that Greenfield teachers can move their class outside to do their school work when the weather is good.
