🌿 IT'S OPENING WEEKEND 🌺

Our gardeners have been hard at work preparing PHS Meadowbrook Farm for another season of textures, tours, and local wildlife (have we mentioned the frogs??)

These tranquil spaces are free to explore on your own, but for a behind-the-scenes look at how they are planned and maintained, join a guided tour. Each one is led by a different horticulture expert, sharing their knowledge and unique personal connection to the gardens.

UPCOMING TOURS:
May 16, 1-2:30 pm
June 20, 1-2:30 pm
