Walking Workshop - Discovering a Naturalistic, Meadow-Style Home Garden

Workshop to be conducted at Goodly Gardens in Worcester, PA.

Everyone needs a meadow garden!  Observe and discover naturalistic meadow-style designs in a home garden - involving ornamental grasses, wildflowers and sequencing blooms, as well as several naturalistic “island-styled” garden beds.  A casual, up close walking tour of Thom Mrazik’s naturalistic Goodly Gardens, a PHS Blue Ribbon Award-winning home garden, as well as a Penn State Extension-certified pollinator- and watershed-friendly garden. 

Consider meadow-style features - the importance of scale, planting in mass, accent blooms, layering, and the plant's maturing features.  All in harmony with an adjacent meadow preserve and property features.  And, of course, all your questions, including “What’s that?” will be answered!  Leave with the confidence that you too can create your own meadow-style home garden.

To inform your experience, be sure to watch Thom’s Tuesday at Ten presentation  March 22, 10:00-10:45 AM, “Discover Warm Season Ornamental Grasses.”

This is a members only event and is limited to 15 participants. There is no registration fee, but registration is required.  Instead of a fee, help feed the food insecure/needy by bringing to the garden location a donation of 5-10 lbs. of nonperishable groceries (e.g., canned, dry, and nonperishable goods) which will be donated to Martha's Choice Food Pantry in Norristown.
