That's true in the case of the historic Meadowbrook Farm in Jenkintown, which will reopen to the public with safety measures in place on April 14.

“Meadowbrook Farm offers an experience that appeals to gardeners of any age and highlights the benefits of horticulture in a safe and beautiful environment,” Andrew Bunting, Vice President of Public Horticulture at PHS, said in announcing the reopening.
New displays are influenced by the property's history, and include a focus on "vertical design," columns, vines, hanging baskets, and other plants which attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds.
