Philadelphia: The Holy Experiment, hosted by actor and
Philadelphia resident David Morse, describes how concerned citizens like
activists Doris Gualtney and Iris Brown, muralist Jane Golden, sculptor
Lily Yeh, musician Kenny Gamble, gardener Mary Corby, restauranteur
Judy Wicks, grieving father Ed Elliss, and the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society's "Philly Green" initiative spawned by Joan
Reilly, Jane Pepper and Blaine Bonham, Jr. have all combined to grow a
new title — "Farmadelphia" — for the city founded by William Penn in
honor of his father. The present-day "greening" of Philadelphia has many
diverse and energetic faces but none is more dominant than its founder
who laid out a groundwork for an Eden-like green, inhabitable city in
the early 1700's, that is now being fulfilled.
