Testimonials

We were delighted with this unusual garden. It was obviously well planned out and attended by numerous workers "interns". A great variety of plants could be viewed along with water features. A very modest $5 entry fee made this a bargain.

A stunning and little-known garden sanctuary near Cold Spring. We spent a scorching late-summer afternoon wandering around spectacularly beautiful gardens, learning about plants, watching great big bullfrogs do their thing and hiking through woodland paths. EVERYONE should visit this wonderful place.
