Welcome

A Passion for Pollinators…

We believe creating wildlife habitat not only helps the environment but also benefits people – physically, mentally and spiritually.

We believe that home gardens can make a difference and that small actions added together can have a real impact.

Our mission is to help people create wildlife friendly habitats across all of our neighborhoods – and to have fun while doing it.

If your organization or community has an interest in pollinator gardening and you need a guest speaker - get in touch!

Hello…

I’m Cathy – the owner of Green Haven Farm.

I have been gardening in my current location for the past 25 years, and locally (in Media) before that. A former Environmental Engineer, I also have a background working in the nursery industry.

I am a Penn State Master Gardener and have Certificates of Merit in both Landscape Design and Ornamental Horticulture from Longwood Gardens. I’ve also taken numerous courses in ornamental horticulture from Longwood Gardens, Mt. Cuba Center and Penn State Extension and have volunteered at Longwood Gardens and Tyler Arboretum.

I previously operated Green Haven Farm as a small nursery specializing in pollinator friendly and native plants until I closed it in 2024.

I can’t wait to meet you and talk all about plants and pollinators!
