Name of Garden:
Bartram's Gardens
History:
On this site more than 250 years ago, John Bartram, a Quaker farmer, was stopped in his tracks by a daisy while plowing his fields. The plant's simplicity and beauty inspired John and his son, William to spend the rest of their lives exploring, collecting and seeking to understand all forms of nature.
Today, gardening enthusiasts, history buffs, scholars and children enjoy John Bartram's legacy, now called Bartram's Garden.
