2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Site Tour
The trip through parts of Philadelphia, some familiar and others less so, shows how four Eisenhower Fellows from Philadelphia have worked together to improve their city and relieve urban blight. Through landscaping, community gardens, mural arts, and providing shelter and education to the homeless, they have positively impacted communities and helped to reduce crime. The tour will include community gardens and show how the Mural Arts Program, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, and Project H.O.M.E. have coordinated their work at specific sites. Two trolleys will drive through city neighborhoods enabling participants to see the gardens and the mural arts and will make two stops to permit a closer examination of the work. The Philadelphia Fellows will be on the trolleys and at the sites to explain their work. (Trolleys will return to Doubletree and Rittenhouse Hotels.)
