You might not notice the garden as you walk east on Walnut Street toward the riverfront in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The formal 18th Century Garden (recreated by the National Park Service) is behind six-foot tall wrought-iron fences, and might not catch your attention after you pass the Dolley Todd House on 4th Street.
But pause as I did.
Take a step inside the gate.
Meander through the paths bordering the geometric shaped raised beds.
Look upward as you walk through the vine-covered pergola. Gaze at the row of meticulously pruned small fruit trees.
What a lovely quiet space!
I think the garden was one of my favorite places to visit this weekend when I was in Philadelphia for 2016 WordCamp US.
