The Tyler Gardens are open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the gardens, identifying plant materials, architectural features and Stella Tyler's sculptures. The map should help you find your way around. A copy of the children's quiz is also available, suitable for children from ages 5 to 12. The college and all those involved in the restoration process hope that you enjoy your time in the gardens.  Wedding parties are asked to register with the college and the Security Office (215-968-8394).
Thank you for helping us protect and conserve this wonderful garden.

Tyler Formal Gardens were built in the early 1930s on a hilltop overlooking Neshaminy Creek in Bucks County. They served as an "outdoor parlor" for George F. and Stella Tyler, original owners of the property. The gardens currently reflect early twentieth-century horticulture, and originally were greatly influenced by larger French and Italian gardens. Tyler Formal Gardens are divided into levels and compartments, separated by stone walls and shrubs, and feature an espalier, sodded lawns, water fountains, gravel pathways and bronze sculpture.
