    Join us for a tour of the fascinating historic architecture and landscape around the St. Martin’s area of Chestnut Hill. This community, which borders the beautiful Wissahickon Valley, is blessed with abundant historic homes and gardens, earning it the title of Philadelphia’s “Garden Suburb.” There are fascinating connections that exist between the history and development of the St. Martin’s area, landscape gardening, and the Morris Arboretum. We’ll examine the historic architecture and planning of this unique community while looking for ways we can learn from it in building new sustainable communities. Meet in front of the Chestnut Hill Academy parking lot at 500 Willow Grove Avenue. Instructor Barry W. Jeffries Landscape Architect and Morris Arboretum Guide
