Experience the newly reimagined Athenaeum garden, created with PHS, and explore how landscapes can connect history, memory, and civic life.
Begin from 5-6 p.m. with a special opportunity to visit the garden, designed by award winning, landscape designer Wambui Ippolito. Featuring fragrant perennials, flowering vines, and seasonal color, the garden extends The Athenaeum's mission of learning and discovery into the landscape. The garden is located at St. James Place and S. Randolph Street, behind The Athenaeum building at 219 S. 6th Street, Philadelphia
At 6 p.m., Wambui will share the story behind the design and reflect on how gardens have long expressed Philadelphia's traditions of science, immigration, civic pride, and our relationship with the natural world.
