SAFETY ALERT: Don't touch or approach wild birds, especially if they seem sick or dead! If you are visiting with pets or small children, help make sure they also stay away from wild birds and other wild animals.

It's always best to keep your distance from wildlife, but we're sharing this reminder because Philadelphia's first suspected case of H5N1 avian flu, aka bird flu, was reported today in a snow goose found in the Carroll Park neighborhood of West Philadelphia. H5N1 is highly contagious and is currently spreading nationally among wild birds and cattle, but it can also infect humans.

If you see a bird that you think might be sick or dead, report it to the Pennsylvania Game Commission by:
📞Calling 833-PGC-Wild (833-742-9453) or
📧Emailing [email protected]

For more information about H5N1 in Philadelphia, see the Department of Public Health's announcement at https://www.phila.gov/2025-01-22-city-reports-goose-as-first-suspected-case-of-avian-influenza-in-philadelphia/

For more information about the many bird species who live in or migrate through the Garden, visit https://www.bartramsgarden.org/birds/ or drop by the Welcome Center on Fridays and Saturdays, 9:30am–4:30pm, to borrow a pair of binoculars or birding guides.

"Perhaps no other tree could serve as a better inspiration for hope, resilience, vitality, love, beauty, and strength than the Ginkgo."

In "The Story of Ginkgo Biloba should be a great lesson of why not to fall in despair during this challenging time" author Shankar Chaudhuri writes about the Ginkgo as not only a natural wonder but a symbol of steadfastness in the face of adversity.

This beautiful tribute, which features a bit about the continent's oldest Gingko located here in our historic garden, feels especially poignant right now.

Congratulations to our neighbor Dianna C. Coleman for being named The Philadelphia Citizen 2024 Block Captain of the Year!👏🎊

As block captain of South Paxton Street, Dianna has organized countless efforts to beautify her community and care for neighbors of all ages, including working with younger residents to transform a vacant lot into a community garden—named Ms. Verna's Garden, in memory of a cherished community elder. And that's only the beginning.

“ 'What’s really special about Dianna is that she’s really, really great at being able to organize people, being able to go get resources,' says Ty Holmberg, co-director of Sankofa Community Farm at Bartram’s Garden who visited the community garden over the summer. “They had such a good growing year. I was so impressed. They had the most beautiful plants.”

Thanks to our supporters, we’ve celebrated events like Juneteenth and HarvestFest with thousands of visitors, welcomed busloads of schoolchildren for special lessons at the Garden, and helped almost 100 neighbors kickstart their gardens with a Home Garden Bed installation. But that’s only some of this year’s amazing activity!

There’s still time to celebrate the Garden’s impact before the year ends. Make your year-end gift today, and your generosity will help ensure Bartram’s Garden has Room for All into the new year and beyond.

Paloma the Papaya starts her winter slumber!

Did you know that here at Bartram’s Garden, the Horticulture team cultivates a Papaya tree? Grown in tropical conditions, such as southern Mexico and much of Central America, this papaya tree was started from seed by the Garden’s great friend, Ha Pham @ ha_an_26

Papayas are known for their delicious vitamin C-rich fruit and seeds that taste like black pepper. To keep Paloma alive and healthy, our expert horticulturalists partnered with the magnet agricultural school, W.B. Saul High School. Nested carefully in Saul's greenhouse, Paloma escapes the winter frost to return come the spring season.

Big thanks to Mr. Turko and his students for caring for Paloma this winter and to Daja, our Garden Ecology Youth Coordinator, for capturing this.

[ID 1: A photo of Lead Gardener Mandy, holding a de-potted Paloma in her arms while other members of the Hort team work in the soil behind her. Paloma looks about as tall as Mandy, with a slender but sturdy trunk and wide-reaching branches full of lobbed green leaves and green fruit.

You're probably seeing poinsettias everywhere at this time of the year--but have you ever seen them in their native habitat? 👀 And do you know their Bartram's Garden connection?

This amazing photo is courtesy of Jim Faust, Professor of Floriculture Physiology at Clemson University, showing a wild poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) growing in the Manantlan Biosphere Reserve, a tropical, dry forest on the west side of the state of Jalisco in Mexico near the Pacific Coast.

Known as "cuetlaxochitl" (kwet-la-sho-she) in the Indigenous Mesoamerican language Nahuatl, the Aztec and Mayan peoples cultivated these plants for centuries for aesthetic, practical, and medicinal purposes.

In the early 1820s, Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, brought specimens of the plant to the United States and shared seeds with Ann Bartram Carr and her husband, Colonel Robert Carr, to cultivate at Bartram's Garden.

In 1829, at the first of what would become the annual Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Flower Show, one of the exhibits included "a new Euphorbia with bright scarlet bracteas or floral leaves, presented to the Bartram collection by Mr. Poinsett, United States Minister to Mexico.”

Learn more about poinsettia history and cultivation in a 2016 blog post by our late historian, Joel Fry: https://www.bartramsgarden.org/americas-first-poinsettia-introduction-bartrams-garden/
