Colonial Cities and Gardens of Mexico at Morris Arboretum of the University in Philadelphia, PA
In October 2008, the Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hosted a trip to Mexico to tour the colonial cities and gardens of Mexico. Attendees of the week-long trip visited San Miguel de Allende, a city recognized for its cobblestone streets, art galleries, temperate climate and unique colonial architecture. The colonial period of Mexico from the 16th through 19th centuries brought much wealth to the silver mining towns of Mexico, allowing them to build gorgeous churches and buildings. The trip concluded with UNESCO World Heritage site Guanajuanto to experience the International Cervantino Festival.
The Morris Arboretum is part of the University of Pennsylvania and is the official arboretum of Pennsylvania. The arboretum was started in 1880 by John and Lydia Morris, who were interested in growing plants from around the world. Many of the plants now seen at the arboretum are from original plantings that are now 100+ years old. The arboretum contains more than 2,500 species of plants and over 13,000 plants in all. The plant collections are native to North America, Europe, and Asia, with the Asian collection being particularly extensive and impressive. The Morris Arboretum is open every day except for major holidays, and there is a small admission fee to enter.
