As we reported in December,
a PHS Pop-Up Beer Garden is coming to Callowhill. The plans have now been confirmed.
This summer, the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
plans to open two pop-up beer gardens, a return to 15th and South streets plus a new park at the foot of the
Philadelphia Rail Park
.
Thanks to a $360,000 grant from the
Pew Center for Arts & Heritage
, Philadelphians will get their first extended interaction with the planned Rail Park. A pop-up garden is set for
10th and Hamilton streets
, at the base of the Reading Viaduct. Today, the area is a tangle of crumbling concrete, overgrown lots and decay, but with the help of PHS and noted
landscape architect Walter Hood
, the project aims to merge the post-industrial structure with urban green space. The pop-up will raise awareness for the creation of the Rail Park as it blends art, history and horticulture. The location is convenient to live music venues Union Transfer and Underground Arts, as well as the Chinatown and Callowhill neighborhoods. Perhaps even more so than the other PHS pop-ups, this location will challenge the way Philadelphians interact with and envision their urban spaces.
