Urban Arboretum of University City
The Urban
Arboretum of University City hightlights the remarkable collection of trees and ornamental plants available
for public enjoyment in this part of Philadelphia. The collection reflects
the neighborhood's long history of gardening and its special heritage of
botanical "exchanges" of American native plants and imported "exotics." That heritage continues today in an ever-evolving public landscape of remarkable
diversity and a community commitment to greening and gardening.
