These charming gardens are on land once used as a prison farm. In 1991 the property was given to a nonprofit organization to be developed into gardens and an educational center. A historic 1840s wooden farmhouse about to be demolished was transported to these premises to serve as the garden center headquarters. Since its official opening in 1997, the ten-acre site has served to educate the public in conservation, horticulture, landscape design, even garden therapy. Courses and lectures are routinely given in botany and related fields, tours of these and other botanical gardens are conducted, and the already fine collection of native trees (some quite mature), shrubs, and flowers is being enlarged.See the beautiful gardens and an 1840s farmhouse located on 10 acres. |
