New Community Garden Plots Available at Playwicki Farm

Feasterville Trevose, PA · May 19, 2026

The morning mist is lifting off the fields at the farm, and if you’re heading out early, you’ll notice the first signs of the summer planting season taking root. It is a perfect morning to get the trowel out before the afternoon warmth settles in.

📰 The Lead

The second phase of the community garden project officially opened this morning, adding twenty new raised beds to meet the high demand from local residents. This expansion follows a record-breaking waitlist last year, reflecting a growing local interest in sustainable, home-grown produce and neighborhood-scale agriculture.

The new plots include several ADA-accessible options and a shared irrigation system funded through a county open space grant. For those who secured a spot in the lottery last month, today marks the first official day for tilling and planting. Township officials noted that the project is designed to foster neighborhood connections through shared workdays and seasonal harvest festivals planned for later this summer. If you missed out on a plot this spring, the parks department is already scouting a secondary location near the library for a potential rollout next year.
