Description
More than a cemetery, the Woodlands' 54-acre undulating landscape sat forgotten until its 250th year. See how this one-of-a-kind 18th-century English pleasure garden and 19th-century rural cemetery is being transformed into a modern 21st-century green oasis and community hub for its neighbors in bustling West Philadelphia and beyond.
