2. You want to feel inspired. The Garden Tour features several urban oases that have murals, mosaics and all kinds of other unique features. One in particular takes the idea of a classic "English Garden" and transports it right to the heart of South Philly.
Twenty (twenty!) gardens all throughout South Philadelphia have signed on to be on the Tour which goes from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, September 10. Gardens range from individual backyards to community gardens to parks. You can visit all the gardens or just target a few since they’re all in a 5-mile radius (perfect for walking or biking).
