Intimate spot at Independence National Historical Park modeled after a 1700s English garden.

Probably pretty in the spring or summer.
Parking around was easy, but no public restroom nearby
Not a giant garden, but a neatly kept English garden. Worth a stop.
This is one of my favorite places in Philadelphia. Almost a secret garden hidden in plain sight. There’s a romantic bench in the middle for stealing kisses like it’s 1799.
This 18th century-style garden is a free, serene spot with a latticed gazebo for relaxing that's not far from the historic Independence Hall area. It is maintained by the National Park Service with some seating and it's handicap accessible. We enjoy strolling the garden at different times of year. Given our current drought, it's mainly trimmed boxwood hedges now. The garden was dedicated in 1966 by Ladybird Johnson.
Beautiful little garden right behind the Carpenters Hall
Interesting little garden and a vast contrast to the European gardens of the period. Really drives home the fact that this was a nascent, poor, nation in the 18th century!
