The spring rain is turning Philly's outdoor spaces green! So we're revisiting an episode from last year that was recorded in West Philadelphia at the Woodlands, which is one of the oldest gardens in the country. Host Trenae Nuri sat down with Nicole Juday, author of Private Gardens of Philadelphia, to talk about Philly's many gardens, what makes this city a vibrant horticultural hotspot, and the public gardens you need to check out ASAP.
