The Philadelphia region boasts a great wealth of exceptional gardens, both public and private. Nicole Juday, author of Private Gardens of Philadelphia, again digs into the history and circumstances­—from politics to economics to religion—that have contributed to the intense concentration and high quality of horticulture in the area.

She follows up her previous look at the region’s notable gardens with five new locations, ranging from small urban jewel boxes to vast estates. Juday offers stunning photos; finds themes that connect these disparate spaces; shares details about what makes them so special; and reveals the stories of the fascinating people who created these gardens, often under challenging conditions.
