About Priapi Gardens
Our prices are all-inclusive, however many of our guests like to express their appreciation of our staff's exceptional service with a gratuity. An opportunity to do so will be provided.
As Route 213 winds north on the Shore, where it is designated a National Scenic Byway, past Galena and over the Sassafras River, it brings you to Cecilton, home of Priapi Gardens. The white fence entrance is as welcoming as Vic and Mary Priapi and their staff, at this garden center and organic produce farm. Farming is in Vic’s blood, having grown up on a Long Island vegetable farm, and the Priapis’ passion for growing and the land is evident in everything they do – from their virtually no pesticides production practices to the recycling of their irrigation water – all designed to protect the environment, their staff and customers. From their workshops and their Fall Festival, to their gardening for children and new organic CSA, they put their core values into practice as stewards of the environment.
Priapi Gardens is located at 5996 Augustine Herman Highway, Cecilton, MD 21913. Click here for directions.

A portion of the proceeds from the Farm Dinners at Priapi Gardens will benefit the Medora Harvest Fund, managed by the Lower Eastern Shore Sustainable Organic Network (LESSON), a local non-profit organization that promotes outreach and education about the benefits of organic farming. The charity is named the Medora Harvest Fund in memory of Medora Cockey, whose life was tragically cut short at the age of 23. Medora was a passionate supporter of organic farming.
