	Most recently, in spring 2021, FoPP restored the park’s amphitheater, replacing tired and degraded hedges with native plants, and installed flanking perimeter planting beds true to the original Frederick Peck design of the park, in the ‘Wissahickon’ style, with broadleaf evergreens, and flowering shrubs and trees. FoPP funds all its improvements and repairs at Pastorius Park with tax-deductible donations and membership fees from the community. In regards to the amphitheater restoration, FoPP particularly wants to thank the Chestnut Hill Community Association (CHCA), and their Greenspace committee for a matching grant, as well as the Wissahickon Garden Club for their donation. Gratitude and thank are also due to the Philadelphia Committee of the Garden Club of America for helping us with a grant for the new amphitheater hedges.
