Philly is home to 38 public gardens and historic landscapes, more than anywhere else in the country. Today we're revisiting a conversation between host Trenae Nuri and author Nicole Juday about the historic Woodlands public garden and cemetery, the 200-year evolution of Philly's gardens, and how to best enjoy one of the most elaborate gardens in the US (hot tip: on a bench with lunch).  You can find Nicole’s book here.  This episode originally aired on Sept. 19, 2025.
