PHS Meadowbrook Farm

PHS Meadowbrook Farm in Meadowbrook, Pennsylvania is a demonstration farm and garden operated by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. About 15 miles from Philadelphia in the northern suburbs, it serves as both a horticultural education center and a beautiful green space for community visits.

The farm features working vegetable gardens, flower and herb gardens, and demonstration areas that show sustainable growing practices. For families, the main appeal is the combination of beautiful grounds for a garden walk and the seasonal programming that the PHS runs throughout the year — including harvest events, educational workshops, and family activity days.

Admission to the general grounds is typically free or low-cost; special events and programs may have fees. Hours vary by season and programming, so checking the PHS website before visiting is important. PHS members may have free or discounted access to certain programs.

The farm is particularly appealing for families interested in introducing kids to where food comes from, what plants look like at different growth stages, and the intersection of gardens and ecology. Spring and summer are the best seasons, with full vegetable and flower gardens at their peak. Fall harvest programming often brings families back for seasonal events.
