The greater Philadelphia region boasts more than 35 major gardens and arboreta that make it America’s Garden Capital. Explore three of the most notable gardens of the region, all of which reside on the historic Main Line. First, enjoy the gorgeous grounds and captivating plant combinations that have made Chanticleer one of the nation’s most picturesque pleasure gardens. Next, visit one of the region’s newest public gardens, Stoneleigh, a former estate transitioning into a showpiece for the use of native plants. Wrap up the tour by exploring the Jenkins Arboretum and its incredible native plant collection. Perched atop a strong slope, it nestles an arboretum of rhododendrons and azaleas within an abundant backdrop of native plants on a forested remnant hillside. Compare and contrast the mission and development of these three gems guided by Jeff Lynch of Chanticleer.

This course is required for the Landscape Design Certificate. Students wishing to receive credit must complete and submit an assignment designed specifically for this landscape tour.
