We are often joined by students and teachers from the nearby Julia de Burgos Middle School. Bring rakes and the weeding implements of your choice. But if you don't have any, we'll provide them. Tours of the burial ground are also offered during volunteer clean up days. Thick-soled shoes, long sleeves and long pants and heavy gardening gloves are the recommended dress.
Young volunteers are welcome with supervision.

From South Broad Street, turn right onto Lehigh Avenue, go about 3-4 blocks and then turn left onto Germantown Ave. From North Broad Street, turn left onto W.
