It’s leaf-peeping season.
One way to explore the local foliage and greens? Get a passport.
The Greater Philadelphia Gardens (GPG) collective, a group of 37 public garden spaces within 30 miles of Philadelphia are offering a free passport to “American’s Garden Capital.” The booklet shares itineraries, info on the gardens, what to see, and links for more information.
Beyond gardens, location offerings include physical fitness, drive-in movies, wine tastings and more. Hike the trails at Tyler Arboretum, see Halloween decor at Nemours Estate, and learn about native plants at Mt. Cuba Center.
If you visit and stamp all 37 local gardens, you are eligible to win a prize.
