Reviewers describe a working garden that runs classes rather than a park you drop into: cooking sessions, healthy-eating programs, school and community events across several acres. Parents whose children attended for years give the staff good marks. Check what is running before you go.
A seven-acre organic teaching garden on a historic estate, with cooking and gardening classes for families. The free third-Saturday open garden needs no registration and tours start mid-morning — the easiest way in.

- Anna Franklin★★★★★
Family friendly garden that constantly hosts classes and community events promoting healthy eating. My kids have participated in classes here for a few years now and have had a positive experience each and every time. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the gorgeous Queen Anne historic home is the icing on the cake of this wonderful property.
