Garden Ornaments

The Morris Collection of Garden Treasures features historic reproductions of garden ornaments that embellished the Victorian garden estate founded in 1887 by Philadelphia Quaker siblings John and Lydia Morris. These eclectic gardens, which later became the Morris Arboretum and Gardens of the University of Pennsylvania, displayed hundreds of garden urns, statues and planters inspired by the Morrises travels in Asia and Europe
