At Green Spring Gardens, you can stroll along a wooded valley by the stream and various ponds, inhale the fragrance of the native plants, browse through the tropical greenhouse, or browse the reference library. Green Spring Gardens is a wonderful place for avid gardeners whether they want to enjoy a leisurely visit, learn something new about gardening, seek inspiration for spring planting, or shop for the latest additions to the Garden’s well-stocked shop.

The Gardens serve as a living classroom for kids and adults, and there are many hands-on horticultural learning courses. The gardens also have historic significance, so do not forget to check the stately, ornate historic house built in 1784 by John Moss.
