If you've ever been interested in learning about growing vegetables and flowers you are welcome in our third of an acre garden. Our Horticulture Zone also includes a hoop house, a composting area, and room for growing flowers. Our garden is 100% organic with no chemicals or pesticides being used.

Our Horticulture Zone Manager, Andy Nolan, tends to the Zone from 8:30am until 3:30pm Monday to Friday. Feel free to call him with any questions at 215 558 1580. All are welcome!
