Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve

With a sea of Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) and other stunning native  ephemerals in peak bloom, springtime is best enjoyed at Bowman’s Hill Wildflower  Preserve.  

Spring is also the prime season to witness the Preserve’s mission in full bloom.  

The much-anticipated season opening of the Preserve’s Native Plant Nursery is Friday,  April 10, with daily operations through November. The Preserve’s Native Plant Nursery  is your go-to destination for straight species native flowers, plants, shrubs and trees.  Planting native plants is a smart way to create a healthy and diverse environment,  attract more pollinators and beautify your landscape. Want to pick your favorite native plants early? Purchase or renew your annual Preserve membership and enjoy exclusive  members-only shopping on Thursday, April 9.  

Rooted in Our Future, the Preserve’s signature fundraiser – and best date night in  Bucks County – is on Saturday, April 25. Join over 200 Preserve supporters for a  celebratory, communal evening featuring a spring-inspired menu by Max Hansen  caterer, botanical libations by Bluestem Botanicals, live jazz featuring the Dave Dales  Trio, and a lively Raise Your Paddle fundraiser. This year’s honorary co-host is Jenny  Rose Carey, renowned gardener, educator and author. The event will also feature interactive experiences from locally acclaimed artist, April Ann Bohmler, and locally  acclaimed landscape designer, David Hughes of Weatherwood Design. Tickets are  available now (in limited quantity with high demand), and this event is open to the public.  

Located on 134 acres in New Hope, Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve is the only  accredited outdoor museum in the country dedicated solely to native plants. The  Preserve’s mission is to serve as an educational resource, promoting the significance  and use of native plants and offering the community a destination that inspires  conservation action. With five miles of walking trails nestled into 134 preserved acres, a Native Plant Nursery and year-round programming and events curated to be as unique  and vibrant as its 30,000 annual visitors, the Preserve truly welcomes all.
