Spring Ephemerals in the Garden with John Lonsdale – A Visit to Edgewood Gardens

This is an opportunity not to be missed. Join us for a visit to Edgewood Gardens, home of John Lonsdale and family, in Exton, PA. The 1.6-acre garden is home to several thousand hardy plants, trees, and shrubs, grown in a variety of microhabitats including raised beds, xeric beds, bog gardens, woodlands, and cold greenhouses. John also propagates and sells Cyclamen, Galanthus (snowdrops), Trillium, species peony seedlings, and a variety of companion plants. Normally only available by mail order, or at a limited number of east coast plant sales, John will have some of his plants available for sale, at a discount, on the day of our visit. To see images of the plants and garden at Edgewood, visit https://edgewoodgardens.net.

John will give us a short talk at 10:00 AM, and you are free to explore the garden until noon. John will be available for questions during this time.

The property has a steep bank to one side with pathways built into it, but it can be challenging. You will, however, have a spectacular view from the base. The rest of the property is easily navigable. Street parking is available. And a restroom is available onsite. If you are looking for a lunch destination, there are plenty of options available in the Exton area.
