Bartram's Garden
Bartram's Garden transforms team building into an immersive outdoor experience across 50 acres of historic botanical gardens along Philadelphia's Schuylkill River. Teams can design custom nature-based challenges that blend hiking through diverse plant collections with collaborative problem-solving activities. The combination of America's oldest surviving botanic garden and working community farm creates a unique backdrop that encourages genuine connection away from typical corporate settings.
What to Expect
Groups typically start with a guided exploration of themed garden areas, learning about native plants while completing team challenges that require communication and strategy. Activities often incorporate the working farm elements, where teams might collaborate on conservation projects or participate in seasonal gardening tasks that reinforce teamwork concepts. The riverside location and extensive trail system allow for scavenger hunts and navigation exercises that get everyone moving together.
Who It's For
Ideal for teams of 10-30 people who want meaningful outdoor time without intense physical demands. The contemplative garden setting works especially well for groups dealing with stress or those seeking creative inspiration rather than high-energy competition.
