About

Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve is a premier native plant conservation organization located in New Hope, Pennsylvania, dedicated to increasing knowledge and use of native plants through education and habitat stewardship. Operating as both a destination and educational resource in Bucks County's historic Pidcock Creek Valley, the Preserve features over 700 native plant species across ecologically diverse landscapes including forests, meadows, streams, and ponds accessible via scenic trails. The organization inspires conservation action by offering comprehensive educational programs for all ages, from preschoolers to professionals, including guided nature walks, native plant gardening classes, and expert conferences on ecology and conservation. The Preserve operates a Native Plant Nursery that propagates over 200 native species from locally sourced seeds, providing plants to visitors and supporting community efforts to establish native gardens that attract birds, bees, and butterflies. Through membership, volunteer opportunities, and community partnerships, Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve empowers individuals to protect native plant communities and restore ecological health in their local landscapes.
