Where Nature Equals Fun Discover Morris Arboretum, the University of Pennsylvania’s premier public garden. M orris Arboretum invites visitors to go Out on a Limb — for a bird’s-eye view of its lush 92-acre forest just a short drive from downtown Philly. The Arboretum’s Out on a Limb canopy walk, 50 feet up in the treetops, gives visitors a new perspective of nature. Children scamper onto the Squirrel Scramble, a giant hammock between two towering trees, and peek at the forest through the twigs of an oversize robin’s nest. Back on the ground, there’s something to discover around every turn of the Arboretum’s paved paths: 15 unique water features, secret garden areas, a glasshouse fernery, a swan pond, and a world-class rose garden. Visitors are transported to an earlier time via a bucolic landscape that offers a peaceful refuge from life today. As a living museum, Above: Out on a Limb on the Morris Arboretum features Squirrel Scramble, an outstanding collection of Gayle E. Maloney Garden; Below: historic and champion trees, children enjoying the such as the 250-year-old rose Garden Bender Oak and the sprawling katsura. This summer, visitors will discover the Garden Railway, with the theme Storytime Rail. This miniature world of castles and cottages features a quarter-mile track with 15 different rail lines and model trains that zip through tunnels and over bridges. Celebrating 125 years of a vision set forth by its founders, Morris Arboretum embraces stewardship, conservation, and education, and 100 e. northwestern ave. introduces visitors to learning in philadelphia, pa 19118 nature.
