Grab Your Gloves for the Community Planting Day

Feasterville Trevose, PA · April 18, 2026

Good morning—if you see a fleet of trucks and neighbors with shovels near the township building today, don't be alarmed. The "Green Up" initiative is officially digging in, and the weather couldn't be more cooperative for a Saturday spent improving our local canopy.

📰 The Lead

Today marks the official kickoff of the Lower Southampton Community Garden expansion, a project that has been in the works since last fall. Located just behind the municipal complex, the garden is adding twenty new raised beds and a dedicated "pollinator pocket" designed to support local bee and butterfly populations.

This expansion isn't just about extra dirt; it’s a response to a waitlist that grew to nearly fifty families last season. Volunteers will be on-site starting at 9:00 AM to help assemble the new cedar frames and distribute organic compost. For those who didn't snag a plot this year, the township is also unveiling a new "share-shelf" program today, where gardeners can leave excess produce for any resident to take home. It’s a small-town solution to food security that turns a hobby into a community resource.

🏙️ Local Pulse

  • Bustleton Pike Pedestrian Safety Upgrades New high-visibility crosswalks and countdown signals are being installed at three key intersections along Bustleton Pike this week. The work aims to slow down cut-through traffic and make the corridor safer for those walking to the shopping centers.

  • Library Launches Heirloom Seed Exchange The Lower Southampton Library has debuted a "Seed Library" in the lobby.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • Playwicki Farm
    • Spanning 110 acres, this historic site is more than just a place for a Sunday stroll. Originally a working farm dating back to the 18th century, it was saved from development by the township in the 1990s. Did you know the name "Playwicki" comes from the Lenape word for "place of the turkeys"? Today, the farm serves as a vital green lung for our community, hosting everything from farmers markets to educational programs that keep our agricultural heritage alive in a suburban landscape.
