Located behind the house, it boasts over 100 perennials!
By 2022, a century old shade tree in the center garden was repurposed into a magnificent carved statue of Hildegard!
At the request of the Director, the shade loving plants were removed from the center garden and replanted in appropriate places. The focus of this center garden will now be healing, medicinal plants based on Hildegard’s research.
MG Maryellen Howley became project manager in 2022.
