Plan the day
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve is a native plant preserve in New Hope, PA. About 4.5 miles of trails pass more than 700 native plant species (the preserve's count), and its Native Plant Nursery sells natives for home gardens.
The preserve is devoted to native plants, and about 4.5 miles of trails show them through the seasons, from spring wildflowers to fall color. The Native Plant Nursery sells the same species for home gardens on every day the preserve is open from April to mid-November. Access Cart Tours take five passengers around by golf cart for 45 to 60 minutes, and admission is free on the first Friday of each month.
