Grab Your Gloves for the Community Garden Kickoff

Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 12, 2026

Happy Sunday—the morning frost is finally behind us, and if you’re heading over to Playwicki Farm today, you’ll see the first rows of the community garden taking shape. It is a perfect day to reclaim your own backyard or simply enjoy a quiet walk through the woods before the Monday morning rush returns.

The Lead

The gates at Playwicki Farm officially swing open this morning for the start of the spring planting season, marking a significant expansion for the community garden program. This year, the township has added twelve new raised beds to meet the growing waitlist of local green thumbs.

Beyond just growing tomatoes and peppers, the program has partnered with local scouts to install a new irrigation system that utilizes rainwater collection from the farm’s outbuildings. For those who didn't snag a plot this year, the perimeter walking trails have been freshly mulched, and the farm remains a prime spot for birdwatching as migratory species return to the creek. Whether you’re digging in the dirt or just passing through, the farm serves as a reminder of the area's deep agricultural roots that persist even as the surrounding corridors continue to develop.

Spotlight & Story

  • Lower Southampton Library
    • While many see it as just a place to borrow the latest bestseller, our local library on Bridgetown Pike has evolved into a vital high-tech hub. Beyond the stacks, the facility offers a "Library of Things" where residents can borrow everything from birdwatching kits to specialized cake pans. The building itself, with its distinctive mid-century lines, remains one of the most recognizable civic anchors in the township, proving that community spaces are at their best when they adapt to how we live now.
