What People Think
"The trails., the scenery, the programs just a wonderful place to walk."
"Close to town, generally well kept, lovely grounds"
A pleasant surprise found in Philly. I enjoyed just strolling through and relaxing under a shaded tree on the swing that was there. Such a great idea!! I almost didn’t turn in because when you first see the sign on the gate you have to pass a building complex that is closed down. But keep driving it’s beautiful back there. And the welcome center you can purchase a souvenir and cold beverage.

Went here for the first time and it’s a cute oasis in the city. They offer all types of activities for FREE for both kids and adults. There are walking/biking trails, botanical gardens, fishing piers, canoeing, etc. I did a biking lesson with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia and was able to practice on my balance. It’s definitely worth checking out. I will be going back.

Absolutely loved this place. So many new flowers and trees to identify. Liked the
architecture. Plant net app does a good job of identifying plants for you even in low internet sites.

This was a wonderful experience for my family. The story behind this farm was touching and educational. Everyone there was professional and courteous. Everyone worked together in groups, and it was fun. The scenery and environment was beautiful. Volunteering time was a wonderful and relaxing idea.

Once you get here, you discover another world outside of the city. Traffic noises mostly disappear and the sounds of nature ring in your ears. A wonderful place to decompress from the urban landscape.

It was so beautiful here. I'd love to come back again and spend a few hours here exploring the entire garden.
