Hatcher Garden is a community
supported urban garden located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The garden
is a beautiful woodland preserve that provides a home for wildlife and
a display for the nature's beauty.
Community gifts of time, talent and money from volunteers and local
businesses keep Hatcher Garden and Woodland Preserve running smoothly
so that it can "educate and inspire".
The Garden is open every day of the year during daylight hours and
there is no charge for admission.
Karen Duquette went there with a friend, and enjoyed a peaceful, serene
day. Lee Duquette enjoyed time to himself relaxing in the RV. |
