Activities For Spring in Delaware County

Gardens and other sites on and around the Main Line

Happy Spring! A study by the American Cancer Society found that walking is linked to lower mortality, including for older Americans. Here in Delco, we’re lucky to have lots of places to walk around and enjoy the season. See below for a list of upcoming events and destinations you can visit with your loved ones – a Griswold Caregiver may be able to accompany you!
