What is a Shakespeare Garden?

A Shakespeare Garden is a collection of some or all of the 175 plants mentioned in the works of William Shakespeare. It is a themed garden of these plants and Elizabethan architecture. Shakespeare Gardens in the United States were formed to show solidarity with our British allies during WWI. Shakespeare Gardens, although rare, can be found across the United States and across the world!

Our fairy seekers did a wonderful job looking for the Garden fairies on Saturday! And you all made the most beautiful fairy gardens. 🩷🌱🌻

Thanks to all of the families and friends this weekend!

And a special thanks to Barb Rhame for planning the weekend events. We are so grateful for the planning you do to bring such thoughtful, fun events to the community and our beloved Garden.
