SUMMARY:Private Gardens of Philadelphia with Nicole Juday and Rob Cardillo
DESCRIPTION:The Greater Philadelphia region is heralded as America’s Garden Capital for good reason: within 30 miles of the City of Brotherly Love\, there are 30-plus public gardens\, arboreta and historic landscapes. In order to celebrate the area’s lesser known private gardens\, writer Nicole Juday and photographer Rob Cardillo published “Private Gardens of Philadelphia” in 2024.

For more background\, listen to this interview with Nicole and Rob on “A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach.” \nSpeakers’ Bios: \nNicole Juday grew up in rural Illinois and first experienced great horticulture when she came to Philadelphia in the 1990s.

Later she managed the renowned program at Barnes Arboretum School before working in several roles at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. She has served on the boards of Awbury Arboretum and Historic Fair Hill. She enjoys writing and speaking about gardens and garden history and tending her own garden in the historic Germantown section of Philadelphia. \nRob Cardillo has been photographing gardens\, plants\, and the people who love them for over thirty years. He has more than twenty-five books to his credit\, including “Private Edens\,” “The Private Gardens of South Florida\,” “The Art of Gardening” and “The Layered Garden.” He is a founding partner of Blue Root Media\, which produces GROW\, the award-winning magazine of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.

Overlook Walk is populated with species native to Puget Sound’s coastal bluffs and provide valuable shade\, habitat and stormwater filtration. The Aquarium Rooftop’s native meadow landscape was designed with guidance from traditional ecological knowledge-keeper Valerie Segrest\, an enrolled member of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.   \nTour leader’s bio:  \nRichard Hartlage is the CEO and founding partner of the Seattle-based landscape architectural firm Land Morphology. His award-winning designs are emotive\, immersive spaces that incorporate sophisticated horticulture and historical knowledge to heighten the human experience of the natural world.
