Bartram's Garden is a nonprofit organization that operates as a public park on nearly 50 acres in the Kingsessing neighborhood of Southwest Philadelphia. It preserves a historic landscape—the first nationally landmarked landscape—and the oldest surviving botanic garden in North America, serving as a site for horticulture, education, and community activity. The site includes Sankofa Community Farm and programs addressing food sovereignty, high school internships, and untold histories, all centered on the Bartram legacy, Garden, and House along the Schuylkill River. It engages residents and students through immersive, community-driven experiences that activate the Bartram legacy, Garden, and House on land and water in Southwest Philadelphia. As a nonprofit in the cultural and horticultural sector, Bartram's Garden functions as a multifaceted community space—combining a public park, historic site, and educational hub—focused on environmental stewardship and youth development. In 2026, it partnered with Mural Arts Philadelphia to create FloatLab, reflecting ongoing collaborations that broaden neighborhood programming.
