Highlights of the Grounds

Grace Kallam Perennial Garden

Beds of themed colorful blooming perennials and attractive foliage along intimate paths. Each bed has a color theme. The Purple-leaved redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Forest Pansy') and the Chinese fringe tree (Chionanthus retusus) shade the area.

Queen Anne Cottage

Constructed in 1885, this building is an ornate example of Victorian extravagance. Set in a lakeside landscape featuring prennial color and huge Blue Gum Trees (Eucalyptus globulus). Be sure to look in the windows.

Garden for All Seasons

An interactive garden displaying wildflowers, herbs, and vegetables planted and cultivated by volunteers in the community. This garden is used as an outdoor classroom and demonstration area year-round.

Meyberg Waterfall

Planted with an array of attractive foliage and flowering plants, a mix of hardy tropicals and temperate plants. This is a favorite spot for photography or just relaxing by the splashing water.
