More Arbor Day madness!

It's true! There are more ways to get your tree groove on.


At the Philadelphia Orchard Project, you can help sow seeds at three different locations this week.


According to the site, here's what you can expect:

"We invite you to participate by planting with POP, working alongside volunteers from our community partners to plant orchards all over the city. Volunteers of all ages and skill levels are welcome. These events involve digging, planting, and spreading compost and mulch, so expect to get dirty. We can't guarantee tools for all; if you bring your own, it is advisable to write your name on them. Snacks and beverages to share are also welcome.

"Planting events can generally be expected to last three or four hours. Please sign up for our volunteer email list for up-to-date info on events. We recommend that you check your email the morning of a planting to confirm whether if will be postponed to the raindate."

The locations are:

• Roxborough High School, 6498 Ridge Ave., Roxborough, April 27, 3 p.m.
• Greenfield Orchard, 23rd & Sansom avenues, April 28, 1:30 p.m.
• Happy Hollow Orchard, 4800 Wayne Ave., Germantown, April 29, 1 p.m.

Or if you're looking to socialize and grow your garden, check out the opening party and preview of the Jenkins Arboretum plant sale. Tickets are $30, but if you want to shop for free, you can wait until Saturday or Sunday when there's no admission fee.

• Opening Party--Friday, April 29, 6 to 8 p.m.
• Plant Sale--Saturday, April 30, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Plant Sale--Sunday, May 1, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There's also a similar sale at Tyler Arboretum on Saturday, April 30. Admission is free. Doors open at 9 a.m. You'll be able to get your hands on hard-to-find trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and herbs, with a focus on both edible plants, and deer deterrents.

And at Winterthur, you can shop from a collection of local nurseries all at once. The event will bring together experts from area stores to help you find rare and heirloom plants in the Greenhouse area. You can shop from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 30.
