Did you know...? Of the original four greenhouses onproperty, only one remains. It is in the stone foundations of the other greenhouses that the Herb Garden was created during the 1970s and 80s and through the years has been tended by many hardworking and dedicated volunteers.
Today's Herb Garden Volunteers meet weekly every Wednesday morning around 10am up at the Herb Cottage. All are encouraged to come visit and new volunteers are always welcomed.
