Bartram's Garden is a 50-acre public garden and National Historic Landmark in Southwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, situated on the banks of the Tidal Schuylkill River.[2] Founded in 1728 by botanist John Bartram (1699–1777), it is the oldest botanical garden to survive in North America.[3] The Garden is operated by the non-profit John Bartram Association in coordination with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation.[4]
Bartram's Garden has the only recreational access to the Tidal Schuylkill River and its wetlands.[5] Its trails make up segments of the East Coast Greenway.[6][7] The garden acts as an outdoor classroom for learning about the plants and history of Southwest Philadelphia.[8] The John Bowman Bartram Special Collections Library contains an extensive collection of documents and materials related to the history of the Garden, the history of Philadelphia, and the development of the field of botany.[9] The garden also serves as a venue for art.[10]
