Tyler Arboretum is expanding its hours this year. From now through October 31, it will be open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. This change means 16 more open hours a week than in previous seasons, which will give members, volunteers, and the public more time to enjoy the arboretum’s collections and landscapes.
After a productive first summer growing season in Tyler Arboretum‘s Edible Garden, the harvest can be reckoned not just the tons of vegetables and fruit produced, but also in the seeds of ideas planted in the minds of visitors to the historic public garden in Media. A goal of the recently-completed $1.4 million project was to help visitors connect with nature on an entirely new level, said Mandy Santiago, Tyler’s executive director. “More than 800 children this summer attended camps at Tyler, and dedicated parts of each day to helping plant, dig, prune, and harvest crops in the Edible Garden.”
2019 marks the 75th anniversary of Tyler Arboretum and the transformation of one of the oldest Quaker farms in Pennsylvania into a public garden.
