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.
