Two living, bent willow benches on either side of Cobb’s Creek for cross-creek conversations. Built with willow harvested from the Philadelphia Parks & Rec Nursery, the benches will continue to grow and provide shade and erosion control along the creek.

As part of the project, artists in residence Amber Art & Design (Linda Fernandez and Keir Johnston) organized a weeklong series of art and environmental justice activities along Cobb’s Creek for 20 teens.
