Sarah F. Hutchin

Sarah has witnessed Rushton Farm blossom from rocky terrain and Canada thistle to lush and bountiful fields. As one of the very first volunteers at the Farm, she helped with the Farmshed Garden, managed Henry’s Garden and has since planted many of our native gardens and meadows, including the shade garden, Rushton meadow, and the rain garden by the Rushton Conservation Center. In addition to her experience working as a docent and mentor at Mt. Cuba Center from 2010 to 2020, Sarah is a graduate of the Barnes Arboretum School, and she holds certificates in ornamental flowers from Longwood Gardens. Today, Sarah serves on the Board of the National Horticultural Therapy Organization, and she loves taking on house and garden projects with her partner Jim and spending time with her family, most of whom are spread out all over the world!

Sarah's favorite part about working at Willistown Conservation Trust?

To me, it's been an oasis. It has helped ground me through challenging times and gave me a place to think, be inspired and create. It's been really great, and everyone is so kind.
