Our Gardens

Over 100 years ago, Charles Dexter purchased this property, where he began his rhododendron hybridizing work. Because of his passion and dedication, present-day visitors can expect a beautiful display of blooms throughout May into mid-June.

The 2020 expansion of North American Hydrangea Test Garden showcases some of the newest hydrangea cultivars on the market. Many of these cultivars are new to Heritage and will be maturing this season and begin to flower. Additionally, the McInnes Garden will continue the popular pollinator theme, while the Garden of the Senses will feature a newly planted succulent area as well as more herbaceous perennials throughout.
