New Community Garden Plots Ready at Playwicki Farm

Feasterville Trevose, PA · July 21, 2026

The cicadas are already warming up their engines this morning. It’s a good day to find some shade before the afternoon humidity kicks in, especially if you're heading out to the farm.

The Lead

Playwicki Farm’s community garden expansion is officially complete, just in time for the peak of the growing season. The project added twenty new raised beds and a modernized solar-powered irrigation system to the historic property. This expansion addresses a three-year waitlist for residents looking to grow their own produce in a communal setting. Beyond the vegetables, the site now features a dedicated pollinator garden designed to support local bee and butterfly populations. The Township Parks and Recreation department noted that the new plots were constructed using reclaimed cedar from a local fencing project, keeping the initiative sustainable. While the new beds are already spoken for, the walking paths surrounding the garden remain open to the public, offering a quiet spot to watch the mid-summer harvest.
