Landscape Architecture with additional financial support from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust, and over 200 individuals, like you.

Health and Safety Guidelines: In accordance with current recommendation, no masks are required in the garden. However masks are suggested in close encounters, such as in the bathrooms, or for your comfort. Note re COVID-19. In these trying times, we can agree that the power of gardens is all the more important and relevant. From the psychological benefits of connecting with the natural world, to the health benefits that stem from direct contact with a rich soil microbiome, we all understand that gardens are places of healing and wellness. It is our hope that gardens will continue to provide moments of joy and opportunities for reflection. We do hope that, in the absence of opportunities for traditional gatherings, our garden will provide opportunities for healthy enjoyment in the outdoors. |
