Wyck’s Home Farm Club is now in its sixth year of operation as a large, cohesive, collaboratively-run kitchen garden.

Join our horticulturist, friends, and neighbors on Tuesdays and Fridays in Wyck’s historic home farm for short lessons, hands-on experience, and a share of fresh produce when you volunteer! No registration required!

Join Wyck's curator for a special behind the scenes look at some of the rarest objects in the collection.

Together, we'll explore unique historic glass pieces in the Wyck collection and dive deep into Wyck's connections to historic glassmaking.

Free parking is available on Walnut Lane, and metered street parking is available on Germantown Avenue. Email info@wyck.org with questions or waitlist requests.

The PA Flax Project is back at the Wyck Historic House and Garden to show you how the flax crop becomes spinnable fiber!

Shortly after the city of Philadelphia’s founding in 1682, it became known for its textile manufacturing industry - particularly in the Germantown area. That being said, manufacturing was still mostly small scale at the time, accomplished primarily by growing an acre or two of fiber flax in any one location and hand-processing at home and/or in small stores. At the same time as this industry boom, the Wyck House was being built and developed. There is evidence that during the residential years of this house, the families within it took part in the Germantown culture of growing and processing fiber flax in order to make household goods such as hand towels, undergarments, and more.

The PA Flax Project has been hosting hand processing events at the historic Wyck house since 2022, and we will be back this fall to continue the centuries-long tradition of turning fiber flax from crop to spinnable fiber on their grounds.

Join us for the final Second Saturday workshop of the year at Wyck, led by Philadelphia chef & educator April McGreger. Follow along with Chef McGreger as she explores the nuances of fermentation, including why fall is so strongly associated with fermentation.

This free event will take place at Wyck Historic House, Garden, and Farm (6026 Germantown Avenue, Germantown PA 19144) in the Ed Shed.

Parking is available on the street or in Wyck's parking lot (entrance on Walnut Ln- space limited).
