Merion Botanical Garden

📸 Merion Botanical Garden Website

🌿 Spotlight: The Merion Botanical Park & The Society Behind It

A Legacy of Green Since 1944!
Founded in 1944, the Society began its mission by transforming an abandoned lot into what is now Merion Botanical Park, located at 100 Merion Rd, Merion Station, PA 19066. Working with Lower Merion Township to acquire a neighboring parcel, the Society helped develop the land into a beautiful 13-acre public botanical garden—now owned by the Township and cherished by the community. Most of the park features lush lawn areas with carefully planted specimen trees and shrubs, each labeled with botanical signs and QR codes that offer detailed species information. A list of adoptable specimens and existing memorial trees is also available for those wishing to contribute.
