Those wanting to fill their gardens with native plants this season will be able to chose between 45 species of perennials, shrubs and tree seedlings during Penguin Court’s plant sale.
Penguin Court, the former family home of the late Tribune-Review publisher Richard M. Scaife, was converted in 2019 into a preserve of the Brandywine Conservancy, a nonprofit located in Delaware County. Located off Route 30 in Laughlintown, Penguin Court is home to more than 1,000 acres of forest, meadows and open space, including Thomas Road Farm.
