About César Andreu Iglesias Community Garden
In 2012, Philly Socialists and our friends and neighbors converted vacant land into a community garden and people's park. Together, we continue to run youth programs, food distribution, and organize against gentrification and displacement in our neighborhood.
The Iglesias Gardens aim to preserve a space for the people. Through providing multigenerational activities for our community, creating harmony and balance with local ecosystems, and growing edible fruits and vegetables and plant medicine, we pay tribute to stolen land and develop a network of support for our future generations. The work of Iglesias Gardens builds and defends resilient communities
The gardens' namesake, César Andreu Iglesias (July 31, 1915 – April 17, 1976), was a Puerto Rican journalist, novelist, and communist political activist. We hope our garden serves as a legacy to a great Boricua author and revolutionary.
