Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come to the Wyck garden on a Tuesday or Friday; no sign-up is needed. For other questions, email programs@historicgermantownpa.org.
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
Sessions combine short lessons with hands-on work in the kitchen garden of the historic home farm. Listed morning sessions run from 10 am to noon, and afternoon sessions start at 4 pm. You take home a share of fresh produce, and the page does not list a cost for the garden program.
Tips for your first visit
- Check the session list on wyck.org before you come, since sessions are listed by date
- Wear clothes you can work outside in, because the work is hands-on in a garden
- Plan your trip, since the page does not list parking or transit for the garden
