About the Garden
The Magnolia Tribute Garden, on the south side of Locust Street between 4th and 5th Streets, was donated by the Garden Club of America in honor of the founders of our nation and dedicated in May 1959.
George Washington's expressed interest in magnolia trees inspired this garden. Around its walled perimeter are 13 early spring blooming hybrid magnolias suitable for northern climates. They represent the 13 original colonies.
In honor of 100th anniversary of the National Park System, The Philadelphia Committee of the Garden Club of America restored the garden for the enjoyment of generations to come.
Each year the Weeders send volunteers for one morning, to help with maintaining this horticultural treasure.
