Before 1750, Philadelphia gardens were not just kitchen gardens, they also cultivated lots of ornamental plants, grown for their beauty, colors, scent, and to make nature prints as a form of botanical art. Many of these plants were imported from Europe, but some were native to the Pennsylvania region. There were gardens in Germantown and at Stenton (James Logan’s estate in north Philadelphia) that cultivated and celebrated vibrant ornamental plants like anemones, tulips, daffodils, roses, lilies
