Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania

The garden was started by John and Lydia Morris, wealthy Quaker eccentrics with the time and money to travel in Europe. They built a summer home on Chestnut Hill and laid out the garden in the Mixed Style. It is now managed as a garden and arboretum by the University of Pennsylvania and retains its European flavor. There is a Mercury Temple and a Fernery. The Rose Garden was created in 1888.
