The Legacy Gardens
This series of gardens is located on a path that will wind its way through the mature hardwood forest surrounding the Dawes Memorial. This forest is peppered with oaks that have matured enough to allow a healthy mixed prairie to thrive beneath them. The gardens are meant to be a experienced in a way that will highlight the legacies of the donors that made them possible, to celebrate their lives, to be meditative, restful and rejuvenating…
