Gardens of Philadelphia: Gardens and Arboretums of the City and Delaware Valley (Pennsylvania's Cultural and Natural Heritage) - Hardcover
Since William Penn's founding of Philadelphia as a "greene countrie towne," thousands of acres of public gardens and arboretums have spawned in and around the city. Fairmont Park is the largest in any American city; even Philadelphia's zoo is a splendid garden and arboretum. Many gardens in the region were first cultivated by early Quakers and include historic, restored homes dating to the early 1700s. Includes location and detailed site information with common and Latin names of all species photographed and features stunning, beautiful, and artistic full-color photography.
