Donated her estate to the Morris Arboretum.
The Morris Arboretum of University of Pennsylvania was named after John T Morris and his sister Lydia T Morris who purchased and landscaped much of the arboretum's current site beginning in 1887. John Morris was interested in growing plants from around the world, including those collected in China by E. H. Wilson around 1900, and many of today's specimens date to Morris' original plantings. The estate became a public arboretum in 1933, after Lydia Morris' death.
