Open to the public
On the long terraces that flank the front of the Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, located on Fairmount Avenue between Corinthian and 22nd Streets, a wonderful border of woody shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials thrives. The plantings provide seasonal interest year-round and serve as habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies. This 8,000-square-foot garden is primarily maintained by volunteer gardeners. Please join us to help with planting, pruning, weeding, and watering.
