About Greater Philadelphia Gardens
Greater Philadelphia Gardens is a nonprofit association that serves to heighten awareness and visitation of the Philadelphia region’s public gardens, arboreta and historic houses with gardens.
In the early 1980s, several marquis public gardens banded together to jointly promote all area public gardens and encourage visitors. That collaboration, one of the first of its kind in the country, has evolved into Greater Philadelphia Gardens, whose nearly 30 member gardens attract three million visitors each year.
As the host to more public gardens than anywhere else on the continent, as well as much of the nation’s horticultural history, the region is internationally recognized as “ America ’s Garden Capital.”
