America's Garden Capital

 I have more way more items to post for Philadelphia month than there are weeks left so in the next few weeks I will be doing some extra postings, and a few minor notes thrown in like this one.

Did you know that Philadelphia is America’s Garden Capital? A bit of local boosterism perhaps but the claim is based on having “38 public gardens arboreta and historic landscapes within 30 miles”. On a visit to the Morris Arboretum, I saw that they were giving out passports that you can stamp. 


The passport has a map. It’s not much and certainly not good for navigation but at least gives a sense of the lay of the land.
