2012 SCHEDULE
The 2012 field trip schedule is under development. Below is the field trip scheduled so far.
The complete schedule will be posted in spring.
February 25 (Saturday) at 10 AM
Bartram's Garden, Philadelphia, PA
Joint program with Bartram's Garden. The first Philadelphia Botanical Club field trip was to Bartram's Garden on the 14th of February 1892.
To commemorate that, we will be revisiting the site, discussing its history, and looking for plants that were seen on that first trip,
such as Eranthis hyemalis (winter aconite), Ptelea trifoliata, and Aralia spinosa. We will also be looking at conifers planted on the site.
Directions: We will meet at the Bartram's Garden administrative building (first building on the left when entering the garden).
The garden is at 54th Street and Lindbergh Boulevard in Philadelphia.
The garden is accessible by public transportation via the 36 trolley to 54th and Lindbergh Ave (cross railroad bridge to Garden entrance on first left).
For driving directions, please see the Bartram's Garden site.
Leaders: David Hewitt (email
and Joel Fry, Curator, Bartram's Garden.
