What is Goodell Gardens and Homestead?

Goodell Gardens & Homestead is a non-profit, education-oriented botanical garden and arboretum on the 78-acre Goodell family farm in Edinboro PA that emulates the Goodell family passion for gardening, history and horticulture. Goodell Gardens provides for the care of a significant collection of both botanical specimens and local historical archives.

The Gardens are open to the public yearly, May thru October (see below for more information).

Our Mission

Goodell Gardens & Homestead was formed in 2001 to operate the Goodell Farm, home of the late sisters Margaret and Carrie Goodell, who provided in their will for the property to be used as a botanical garden and arboretum.

Our mission as an educational institution is to hold and maintain botanical and historical collections for exhibition and interpretation to encourage public understanding and appreciation of plants, their relationship to humanity, and the heritage of the Goodell family. This mission is accomplished through educational programming and the adaptive reuse of the buildings, land, and artifacts of the Goodell homestead and farm.
