Oliva Gamber runs GreensGrow, an urban farm in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood. She said they're adding four new growing categories and they've hired additional staff to keep up with demand from customers.
In the dense urban landscape of Kensington lies a modest, but inspired urban city farm and plant oasis.
"We’re growing lettuce, greens, spinach, we’ll have corn here, we’re going to do a three sisters garden, corn, squash and beans," Gamber said. From January to February, nearly every category of goods and services got pricier. Grocery costs jumped 1.4%, the sharpest one-month increase since 1990, other than during a pandemic-induced price surge two years ago. The collective price of fruits and vegetables rose 2.3%, the largest monthly increase since 2010. Gas prices spiked 6.6%, clothing 0.7%.
FOX 29's Marcus Espinoza caught up with two shoppers at Greensgrow who are trying to get into the gardening game.
