I have wanted to go here for years (after learning about this garden from the Outlander series). It did not disappoint! So many beautiful plants, trees, and walking paths.

Lovely little historic garden in Philadelphia. Nice place for a quick visit and stroll. We spent approximately an hour here and saw everything except for inside the buildings.

We enjoyed our visit during Earth week. It was exciting, my students got to plant herbs. It was 75 degrees. It was such a beautiful day, and wonderful learning experience.

Love the house, trails and everything about this place. It is such an interesting site and wonderful that the Schuylkill trail will be connected through here eventually. Perfect quiet trails for kids. Wonder why it is not more used.

I am not sure as this is an open public arboretum. It is quite beautiful... Lots of weddings and special events are held here... I am native American and attended a Pow Wow at this location... Very beautiful natural trails... Please contact them directly and they can tell you the pricing of holding an event... 😊🌻

Yes. There are nice areas you can have your picnic at. Down by the river there is a trail and just off the path there are flat bolders offering shade, a view of the river and if you're lucky a nice breeze. If you choose a Saturday for your picnic you can enjoy free kayaking/row boats before and/or after. There are also boat prow shaped decks with benches if you want to eat off the ground

Bartram's Garden is a 45-acre urban river garden and National Historic Landmark on the banks of the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. It was founded in 1728 by American botanist John Bartram; he and his family maintained their farm, garden laboratory, and international plant business there for three generations.

Can you take your (small) grill and do barbecue at Bartram? If yes, are there designated spots where you can put your grill? Thanks

Worked and volunteered at BG for 4 years. BG does not "technically" allow grilling as it isn't good for the sensitive environments there, also persons have disposed of ash in illegal manner. People have grilled here, not caused a problem and not been kicked out, however the official answer is no.

Is plein aire painting allowed on the premises?

Robin Debreceni | Aug 10, 2019
Charles Heckscher | Aug 11, 2019

I didn't see that specifically, but it's very low key and low control in general - there should be no problem.

Seedlings available this spring ?

Michael Romano | Aug 10, 2019
Darrell Gardner | Aug 11, 2019

Yes
