Revisiting Ned Wolf Park
Today Eric Sternfels is taking us to visit a beautiful community-created garden in Philadelphia called Ned Wolf Park. He introduced us to this lovely garden before (A Garden Made by a Community ), and I’m excited to take a trip back.
A few years ago you featured an ornamental community garden in Northwest Philadelphia, in a neighborhood called Mt. Airy. As the spring has progressed, I’ve taken more photos of new features. Ned Wolf Park is just 50 feet by 150 feet, but it manages to pack lots of rich planting combinations in successional planting strategies. Because of the pandemic, the park’s gardens have become a more special destination for the community to meet and to practice tai chi or yoga.

Ahead of a competitive Democratic primary that’s coming amid an ongoing gun violence surge, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner finds himself in a bind.
His base expects him to hold the line on promises to radically reform the local criminal justice system. But his political position seems to erode with each gunshot victim making those promises harder to keep.
