At VisitMercerCountyPA, we love highlighting places that make it easy to enjoy the season, and DJ’s Greenhouse & Gardens in Transfer is one of them. From their spring opening day to late summer workshops and garden gatherings, this local destination offers a full calendar of events for gardeners, families, and visitors looking for a nice day out in Mercer County.
The greenhouse is now open for the season. During April, hours are Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Along with seasonal shopping, guests can enjoy display gardens and a lineup of events that make each visit feel a little different.
The season begins with a May event that offers a simple way to get back outside and enjoy everything spring has to offer.
