FREE Fall fun only a short ride away!

Although this isn't in Delco, it's a short ride away and seemed like a good little FREE day trip (not counting the gas to get there!) or maybe a stop-by if you are in this neck of the woods to help you celebrate the fall

 “GREAT PUMPKIN” RISING FOR
MEADOWBROOK FARM’S FALL OPEN HOUSE

WHAT: Visitors celebrating the season at Meadowbrook Farm’s upcoming Fall Open House will encounter a natural wonder: a 500-pound (and growing) pumpkin. Brandon Huber, a Philadelphia International Flower Show blue-ribbon winner, Temple University student and Meadowbrook Farm employee, is carefully nurturing this great pumpkin before he enters it in the Pumpkin Madness Festival at Delaware Valley College on Oct. 9. The pumpkin can be viewed by the public during the day's free hayrides.

1633 Washington Lane

, Meadowbrook (Abington Township), Pa. 19046. Meadowbrook Farm, a garden center and gift shop, is an affiliate of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.

WHEN: Saturday, Sept. 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

DETAILS: Visitors can celebrate fall at Meadowbrook Farm by enjoying the grounds and autumn décor of this historic estate garden and nursery as well as shop for great seasonal plants and gifts.
