Bartram's Garden

Part of my heritage, graduated June 1965 now President of John Bartram High School Alumni Association.
Very nice, fresh, lively, reasonably priced plants, trees, herbs & very friendly staff. Enjoyed my morning @ the gardens.

Great visit! Had never been but was able to wall around some today and enjoy the greenery as well as the plant sale. Prices ranged from $5 and up for a big variety. Also were encouraging people to become members for a free lemon thyme plant. Super charming and glad I'm a member now! Will be back for more!

We visited in late summer of 2006 and need to return in the springtime. For us it was a bus ride to get there and a storm greeted our departure. It felt like a lonely place at the time of our visit, Bartram's spirit had long departed, perhaps it returns in spring. I return to my copy of The Travels of William Bartram when necessary. I hope the area surrounding the gardens has gotten better since we visited.

Pleasant surprise in the southern end of West Philly. A relaxing oasis in an unexpected spot. Accessible by bike and minutes from University City. I loved how close you can get to the water here.
Really nice welcome center and gift shop.
I look forward to going back as the vegetable gardens get going and for the spring plant sale.

Came off season when there was no one there and there wasn't anything in bloom. It was still very quiet and peaceful! We walked the gardens and they it was so beautiful along with the buildings! Its such a nice path to walk down and there is a great view of the city! I'd like to come and do a tour sometime when they are active!
