Plan Your Visit
With 18 display gardens, 2 community gardens, and two miles of stone walls and walking trails, there is something to discover in every season.
From the Howell family home to iconic stone roundhouses, the Garden features 16 historic structures dotted across the 44 acres.
The Garden Gift Shop features nature-inspired gifts, books, and locally made goods. From artisan jewelry and eco-conscious textiles to garden games and seed collections, each purchase supports our nonprofit mission to honor history, grow gardens, and cultivate community.
With entrances at Wimpole Avenue and Boyds Bridge Pike, whether you are coming to explore or for a private event, please learn about which parking lot is best for your visit.
Maps are available in the Visitors Center and at the kiosk in the main Visitors Parking lot at 2743 Wimpole Avenue.
As a free public garden, we welcome groups who visit independently—whether friends gathering, classes learning outdoors, or homeschool groups exploring hands-on. Help us better understand how the community uses the Garden and how we can support your experience.
Enjoy access to the gardens for photography sessions with a Photography Pass. Your purchase helps maintain the beautiful grounds that make each session possible.
Explore answers to questions you may have prior to visiting the Garden. We look forward to your visit!
