Garden Club of Orange and Dutchess Counties, Zone III
2019 Founders Fund Runner Up
The Jane Colden Native Woodland Garden, vital for a redesigned visitor experience, incorporates new plantings around rebuilt native animal exhibits. Self-guided visitors strolling this Appalachian Trail landscaped section can closely view flora and fauna. Native plantings based on the historic Botanical Manuscript of Jane Colden (1724-1760) come alive, supported by information on trailside signs and web-site. This Woodland Garden complements Trailside's educational mission for many, diverse and urban visitors to understand and enjoy nature's offerings.
