Here at Maidencreek co. we are getting to work celebrating growth and rebuilding communities – starting with our own. On Friday, June 12th at the Viaduct park (500 n 10th street Philadelphia pa 19123) we’ll be selling bouquets from local women-owned flower farms, plants for window boxes and hanging baskets at our Re-Emergence Plant Sale. A portion of the proceeds will benefit our friends at BLJ Rowing. BLJ Community Rowing a “Boathouse Without Walls” is the only Black-owned and operated rowing organization in the country. BLJ is committed to providing access to the elite sport of rowing to nontraditional participants. By being the access point and teaching underserved communities how to use rowing as a vehicle to expand life options, BLJ is providing an opportunity for more choice. The plant sale is open to the public from 11 am until sold out but we are concluding with a small happy hour gathering at 4:30 pm.
