While the property belongs to Canada Post, our volunteers have been working in and improving this garden for over 32 years. It started with the Champlain rose on the left side of the stairs and has grown into an extensive show of perennials, annuals, and grasses. The garden boasts a mixture of plants with a pollinator palette including sedum, liatris, salvia, coneflower, rudbeckia, goldstrum rudbeckia, day lilies, fleece flower, a rose bush, heliopsis, tall grasses, iris, phlox, tall purple iris, stella d’oro lilies, pink yarrow, shasta daisies, many spring bulbs, and decorative stones.
The gardens showcase different flowers in bloom every month.
