Garden Railway: Revolutionary Philly Kick Off Weekend
Morris Arboretum & Gardens’ beloved Garden Railway rolls back into action with Garden Railway: Revolutionary Philly. Set within lush garden plantings, the immersive miniature landscape celebrates Philadelphia’s pivotal role in the nation’s founding. The Garden Railway pairs naturally with Plants from the Colonial Era, a self-guided exhibition highlighting the trees, herbs, and flowers that fed, healed, sheltered, and inspired colonial Philadelphians. Join us for all-ages fun family activities: FRIDAY, MAY 22 • 11 AM Meet us at the Sensory Cottage for Storytime as we read “Can Your Hear the Plants Speak?” and take away seeds for your own garden! SATURDAY, MAY 23 & SUNDAY, MAY 24 • 10 am – 1 pm Meet us at the Sensory Cottage to learn about plants native to Pennsylvania and how they were used in the 1700s. Don’t forget to bring your senses: we’ll have special sensory themed activities as well!
