= Bartram High school and Tilden Middle School Food Forests and Gardens = Bartram High school and Tilden Middle School Food forests and Gardens are newly established urban food ecosystems located in the Elmwood Neighborhood of Southwest Philadelphia. Each grow space was established by Cheryl Padgett and Robert Thomas, veteran teachers at Tilden and Bartram, respectively. Strong partnerships with the Philadelphia Orchard Project, Pennsylvania Horticulture Society, and Sankofa Community Garden provided the necessary resources and hands on training to facilitate the construction and plantings of both schools' grow spaces. The gardens and orchards currently function as both educational spaces and healthy food options for after school and summer agriculture programs. Both school grow areas are located near the intersection of 67th and Elmwood.
