Highlights at this time are 45 witch hazels and many early-spring bulbs, such as snowdrops and irises. Not to be forgotten is an examination of evergreen plants that are vital to the winter garden.

Wear garden attire for this rain or shine walk around, followed by coffee and tea in the Carriage House.

Northview Garden was originally part of the Lenni Lenape tribal lands. There is also some evidence that the land was part of a route of the Underground Railroad to free slaves. The property was purchased by Jenny and her husband in 1997 and has been enhanced constantly since that time.

Northview is a garden not to be missed. And Jenny is an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher. Don’t let this special opportunity pass you by!
