fresh Secret Gardens WHEN IN PHILADELPHIA The greening of Philadelphia goes back to 1683, when founder William Penn modeled its five parklike squares (still there!, though one is now a circle) on those of Europe's "green countrie townes." The whole Greater Philadelphia region is a temperate-zone Eden, with fabled public gardens like Longwood and Chanticleer. But you don't need to stray far from the brick and cobblestone streets of Center City, abloom in April with pear and cherry blossoms, to grasp the city's threecentury-old garden obsession and see how it's playing out in the hip Philly of today. — CARA GREENBERG TIME TRAVEL Step into the 18th century on the corner of 4th and Walnut, where a Colonial-style formal garden is artfully re-created next door to Dolley Payne Todd Madison's former abode. It's a tidy little gem, with boxwood parterres, a miniature orchard and a handsome vine-covered pergola. Drive some 15 minutes south of Center City to stroll the riverfront grounds of Bartram's Garden, home of early botanists John Bartram and his son William, and often called America's first botanical garden (bartramsgarden.org). Heirloom daffs and rare "broken" tulips, scattered among silverbell trees, 22 GARDEN DESIGN APRIL 09 Clockwise from top left: Take tea at the gardens at Shofuso in Fairmount Park; get your gardening green on at City Planter in the hip hood, Northern Liberties; visit Bartram's Garden, America's first botanical garden. horsechestnuts and bottlebrush buckeyes, bloom in profusion this month, along with native flame azaleas. Then check into the 15room Revolutionary-period Morris House Hotel (onetime home of Robert Morris, one of the Declaration of Independence signers), where guests can relax in the flower-filled flagstone courtyard, and breakfast is served in the library and afternoon tea in front of a fireplace (morrishousehotel.com). PHILLY'S "LEFT BANK" West of the Schuylkill River, Fairmount Park erupts in a fantasia of pink from late March through mid-April when hundreds of cherry trees, planted in the last decade by the Japan America Society of Greater Philadelphia, bloom. In May, take tea among traditional Japanese plants such as bamboo and pine, a koi-filled pond, perfectly placed rocks and a stone pagoda at Shofuso, the authentic Japanese house and garden built in 1953 in Nagoya, Japan, then reassembled at the current site in 1958 (shofuso.com). From March 30-April 18, see abstract sculpture take shape at the 92acre Morris Arboretum, where renowned artist Patrick Dougherty, working with hundreds of locally gathered sticks, saplings and no preconceptions, will weave a large-scale, site-specific creation likely to resemble a fairy-tale dwelling (morrisarboretum.org). MODERN PHILLY The city's rep for vanguard culture is growing.Tour the growing houses at Greensgrow, an urban farm and nursery in the up-and-coming Kensington section; pick up some unusual container plants and hard-to-find heirloom vegetable seedlings while you're there (greensgrow.org). In the liberhip Northern Liberties neighborhood, choose from hundreds of containers and planters, some of which are made from antique molds at City Planter (cityplanter.com). Indulge in chocolate-chip pancakes, a local favorite, at the Morning Glory Diner in Bella Vista, just south of Center City, and be wowed by the most eyepopping window boxes in town (215-413-3999).
