Planning for the future…

Whitehall Farm Gardens is a family run, 5-acre retail plant nursery in Norristown, PA.

We will open our doors to the public on March 28, 2025, offering gardeners a wonderfully unique selection of naturalizing bulbs, native perennials, woody shrubs, and small flowering trees, as well as specimen hellebores and hostas. In our retail shop, we will stock our favorite must-have garden tools and supplies.

The nursery will be the future home of Carolyn’s Shade Gardens as current owners Carolyn Walker and Michael Drennan transition operations to their son, Alex, and his wife, Marielle, over the next several seasons.

We hope to see you this spring!

With the addition of two large hoop houses, Whitehall Farm Gardens will control plant production from start-to-finish. By cutting heavy chemicals and fertilizers, as well as using biodegradable pots and peat-free soil, we are taking a sustainable approach to our expansion.

Happy Plants, Happy Planet.

  • Organic, Peat-Free Soil

    Your plants deserve the best, which is why we grow everything in Organic Mechanics soil. From Alfalfa Meal and Kelp Meal, Worm Castings (yum!) to Pine Bark, your plants will absolutely love where they grow!

  • Rain Water Collection

    Did you know plants love rainwater best? With its added organic matter, plenty of nitrates, slight acidity and softness, rainwater is the preferred water source for plants. We collect 10,000 gallons of rainwater onsite to nourish our plants.

  • Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

    Many active ingredients used in common insecticides and fungicides are toxic carcinogens. Throughout the growing process, we are committed to using organic and low-toxicity pesticides. We are pollinator friendly and will always say NO to Neonicotinoids.

  • Biodegradable Grow Pots

    It’s time to say goodbye to black plastic plant pots once and for all! The plant material grown at Whitehall Farm Gardens comes in our signature pots made of rice hull fibers. We encourage you to reuse them, return them to us, or simply toss them in your compost pile!
