Come wander our paths, feed the turtles and enjoy the acres of gorgeous flowers and trees. Always in harmony with the seasons, the garden reflects the dreams of master gardeners Russell and Eleanor Adcock. From the crocus amid the melting snows of early spring to the native asters among the coloured leaves of autumn, the Adcocks, and nature, create a changing panorama to please the eye and sooth the soul. Atop the gravel ridge stand many mature beech, maple, birch and hemlock trees. As you walk down the slope into the four acre garden area you will find cedar and ash trees with rose bushes, two types of dogwood bushes, and Canadian holly shrubs. These are all growing naturally. Not to be outdone by the garden flora, the fauna of the woodlands provide many delightful surprises. Frequently you will find deer, moose and raccoon tracks left during nocturnal raids which occasionally leave certain plants defoliated. Many varieties of birds fill the air with their happy songs throughout the day. In addition to the beautiful water lilies, the central reflecting pools are home to many kinds of curious aquatic creatures. Nature, taking advantage of the newly revived ecosystem, provides the gardening enthusiast with a vast array of plant species to study. Naturalists will enjoy the variety of wild plants and birds. The weary traveler will appreciate a refreshing and tranquil respite from the cares of the world. The garden is open to the public from early spring right through autumn. Open daily from dawn until dusk. Please make other arrangements for your canine companions during your visit as dogs are not permitted in the gardens. We operate solely on the donations of visitors and the hard work of Russell and Eleanor's son Grant, who has been entrusted with the task of keeping up the garden now that his parents have passed away. We hope you will take some time to come and visit us.
