Note: Due to construction in the parking lot, Karen Duquette was unable to stand directly in front of the Hatcher Garden sign. So the H in Hatcher does not show in the photo below.

entry wall at Hatcher Garden Welcome to Hatcher Garden

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.
