Finally, for every resident and visitor to the region, a
comprehensive guide to the gardens of eastern Pennsylvania, southern
New Jersey, and northern Delaware. Magnificently illustrated with
nearly 200 full color photographs, A Guide to the Great Gardens of
the Philadelphia Region provides essential information on how to
locate and enjoy the finest gardens the area has to offer. As the
horticultural epicenter of the United States, Philadelphia and the
surrounding towns, suburbs, and countryside are blessed with more
public gardens in a concentrated area than almost any other region in
the world. Stretching from Trenton, New Jersey through Philadelphia
and down to Newark, Delaware, this area (often called the Delaware
Valley) offers more horticultural riches than a visitor can possibly
see even in a couple of weeks of hectic garden hopping. In A Guide to
the Great Gardens of the Philadelphia Region you will find: -
detailed coverage of almost 100 gardens; - maps to indicate where
area gardens are in relation to each other to plan day trip
itineraries; - key information about each major garden, including
hours, fees, time needed for a tour, history, acreage, and special
features; - over a dozen gardens that have never before been featured
in any garden guidebook; - arranged by interest, to help guide
readers to gardens that will most meet their needs; - notations about
historical houses, cafes/restaurants, gift shops, and children's
features at each major garden
