Seasons Garden Center

As summer officially arrives, I am reminded of my trip last Friday to Seasons Garden Center in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. Nestled away in a forest cove, across the street from the Delaware River, a quaint and park-like garden center greets all who travel River Road from Washington Crossing to Yardley, Pennsylvania.

Bill Piestor, the Operations Manager was welcoming and curious about my interest in the shop. He told me that his son Dave has been the sole owner of Seasons Garden Center for the last eight years. The original owner was Mr. Polka, who still lives on an adjacent property behind the structure. Bill guided me through the intricate layout of perennials, annuals, nursery stock, and other popular garden items.



The Garden Center prides itself on its deer resistant shrubs and perennials that have proved beneficial in the popular deer havens of Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. Seasons is also a good choice if you are looking for container plantings, butterfly attracting plants and flowers and exotic nursery stock.
















The staff at Season’s Garden Center is friendly and helpful. Certified Master Gardener, Kelly Strycharz-Thompson is knowledgeable on a variety of plant subjects and writes a regular column in the “Washington Crossing Current.” This month you can read her article, “Blueberries: In-Season and Right in Your Own Back Yard.” The publication also includes coupons to apply to your blueberry, raspberry and blackberry plant purchases.


A drive down River Road must include a stop at Season’s Garden Center. Walking through the garden is inspiring, but inside the gift shop you will also find a nice collection of Guy Wolff Pottery. These beautiful, early English inspired flowerpots have gained popularity with Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey and will surely be a welcome gift for a special friend or garden lover.



You will find Season’s Garden Center at 1069 River Road in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. They are open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Or call them at 215-493-4226. They offer an appealing collection of plants, flowers and gift items. I plan to return soon to stroll through the elegant garden areas stocked with seasonal delights!
