Owl Creek Farm in West Chester, Pennsylvania

Today we visit Steve and Ann Hutton’s Owl Creek Farm (another Philly Fling garden), on a very wet Saturday in September, 2023. The bus dropped us off at the end of a long driveway and we walked up to the house. This shot was taken on that walk...I took this next photo up near the house. An odd combo of foliage textures.
Looking up other posts online about this garden (to see if they'd provide anymore info I could share with you, which they did not) I came across--this one--from Dallas Garden Buzz. Holy Moly! Did we see the same garden? I love the different photos and memories we all take away from a garden visit. No two people see the same thing, or want to share the same photos.

The fenced veggie garden, and maybe a cutting garden too?
A sleek and modern scarecrow?
I started out to explore the path through the grass next to the veggie garden and heard talk of ticks. That's a hard no. I turned around.
Multi-trunked Magnolia macrophylla.
I'm low-key jealous whenever I see a patch of short tetrapanax, mine are all so tall.
The rainy weather made for really dark photos.
Yes that's an Agave geminiflora in a large pot that's sending up a bloom spike.
A tree fern, with bromeliads, in Pennsylvania, will the surprises never end?

That's a sweet patch of asarum sp.

I loved this bit of drama around the back of the house...

Once you passed under the plant covered trellis you entered a gravel patio area.


So many containers!

And look, a gravel garden within the gravel garden...

Tropical in Pennsylvania, who knew?!
