Physic Garden
Physic Garden in front of the Pine Building's West Wing,
Spring 2004. The Board of Managers first proposed the Physic
Garden in 1774 to provide physicians with ingredients for
medicines. The idea was approved, but financial circumstances
intervened and the project was abandoned. However, in 1976,
as a celebration of the Nation's Bicentennial, the Philadelphia
Committee of the Garden Club of America and the Friends of
Pennsylvania Hospital planted the garden in the spirit of
the original 1774 plan. The garden contains the plants and
herbs that were used for medicines in the 18th century. The
Philadelphia Committee of the Garden Club still maintains
the garden. Photo by Kristin Petyak.
