The Green Barn Studio & Gallery

We feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered an old barn spacious enough to transform into a studio and workroom on the ground floor, with a beautiful open gallery space on the main floor, perfect for hosting art shows, music performances, and workshops. The barn, once used by Buffalo Bill Cody as a winter headquarters for his Wild West Show in the late 1800s, continues to reveal fascinating artifacts from that era.

“Open House for Butterflies” Studio Days, a celebration of art, music, and poetry are held several times a year. See below for some of the local artists who join in. Sign up for our newsletter and you’ll get an invitation. The gallery is also open by appointment.

Renowned plantsman and North Creek Nurseries co-founder, C. Dale Hendricks, along with guest speakers Chris Brinton and Trevor Pruitt, occasionally host workshops on such subjects as native plants, biochar, permaculture, and herbalism.

Summer, 2024

In the warmer months, it's time to migrate from the studio and reconnect with nature, putting our hands once again into the rich garden soil of Chester County. The lawn is slowly being replaced with native shrubs and perennials, herbs, and efforts at edible landscaping, such as aronia and hazelnut shrubs, as well as persimmon and apple trees. At times, we come together to share the fruits of the harvest on the glass-enclosed gallery deck. There are plenty of outdoor benches if you'd like to sit for a while and soak in the peace!
