Philadelphia: America’s Garden Capitol

July 1, 2019 by Kathy N

Explore Our Gardens

With a tradition of horticulture going back 300 years, Philadelphia is America’s Garden Capital. Visit more than 30 public gardens, arboreta, and historic landscapes, all located within 30 miles of our landmark city.

Details at https://americasgardencapital.org

Four Bedford Master Gardeners discovered the beauty of the area while at International Master Gardener College in Valley Forge last week. We fell totally in love with each and every garden that we visited. KathyN’s recommendation: devote an entire day to each place that you choose to visit. An umbrella is handy for rain and sun. Make sure to leave room in your car for plants and gardener’s “must-haves”!
