We plant in perpetuity, reinvesting profits, to fulfill our botanical vision. As land stewards the gardens reflect our life’s work and purpose.
To our surprise, we are now receiving private donor offers by several growers, businesses and garden supporters as great care is
taken to acknowledge each gift of kindness. We plant for you, our valued garden centre customers, botanical gardens season
members and visitors from around the globe (yes our global friends will return soon), who share our passion and purpose. Guests
should feel as if we are inviting them to experience an extension of their own private garden. Your genuine exchanges of
encouragement are truly heartfelt as we share our private story of transforming our "corn field into a botanical garden" leaving us
feeling like the little garden that could. We are grateful for your kindness as we all need our gardens now more than ever before!
Gardening is good for the soul…. Happy Gardening!
