"I support the Garden because of all the opportunities it creates for our visitors to experience, explore, and fall in love with nature. 

My favorite area of the Garden is the Wildlife Refuge Pond. There is so much interesting plant and animal life to discover and is the perfect spot to relax and connect. It also serves as a great outdoor classroom! It is beautiful year-round, but my favorite time to visit is in early autumn as the leaves begin to change or early spring when the Red-Winged Blackbirds return. 

Please join me in Growing the Garden this week to sustain beauty and education for all."- Marissa Gallant
