Toni and Dave from Kalamazoo stopped at the garden to have a picnic and take a break from the road. It’s a highlight in their travels to view the gardens each year and watch the changes. Thank you for stopping.🌷

With dismay, the Hillside Gardens had 40 plants stolen for our upcoming sale. These plants are our livelihood for the community. Security has now been installed. A police report has been filed. Please come to the sale on Saturday, September 6 at 9:00
