Name of Garden:
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve
History:
At a chance meeting in a wooded area on state park land in Bucks County, two conservation-minded people struck up a conversation, sharing their mutual appreciation for the peaceful, natural setting that surrounded them. Inspired by the quiet beauty of the woods and the tranquil creek flowing nearby, they imagined a sanctuary for Pennsylvania native plants with nature trails winding through wildflower plantings, a place where visitors could enjoy this natural splendor year-round.
Description:
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve is a 134-acre property located in Bucks County in southeastern Pennsylvania. The Preserve stands out as a beacon of hope for the natural world. Picturesque trails wind through eastern deciduous woodland, open meadow, along a small pond and Pidcock Creek. Of the approximately 2000 species native to Pennsylvania, the Preserve is home to nearly 1000 of them.
