Curator’s Tour with Joel Fry

September 28, 2014 @ 8:00 am - 9:30 am

Join us for a special tour with our Curator Joel Fry focused on the upcoming restoration of the Carr Garden, which will showcase the colorful history and plant collection of John Bartram’s granddaughter, Ann, and her husband Colonel Robert Carr. This horticultural project, located on the west side of the National Historic Landmark Bartram House, will reinterpret the garden during its early 19th-century peak as a nursery for then-new species from Asia.

Tickets are free for Bartram’s Garden Members, $15 for adults, $12 seniors & students.

RSVP online: augustjoelfry.bpt.me.
