An average annual
temperature of 35.7 degrees Fahrenheit has not chilled the
enthusiasm of the creators of this 11 acre garden including
480 species of plants, 92 of which are native. A perennial
garden, an herb garden, a rock garden and a wildflower trail
all grace this site. Future plans include a rose garden,
children’s garden, rock garden and more nature trails.
