It is the largest indoor garden open to the public in New England, encompassing approximately 12,000 square feet of indoor gardens. A wide variety of plants can be found, including majestic 40' tall palms, carnivorous plants, 10' cacti, and succulents. The rose maze is in bloom from June to September and the outdoor perennial gardens bloom with color from spring to fall.
