Visitors begin with a meadow walk which takes them through the intensely planted gardens, the extensive six-acre meadow, along the woods edge or savanna, and wetland areas, The walk extends with a one mile trail through the forest and if desired to the top of Little Mountain. Curated sculptures are carefully sited into the environment to enhance the visitor’s experience.
Visitors are encouraged to enjoy The Bower throughout the seasons. Early Spring brings on flowering trees, shrubs, and ephemerals, signaling what is to come. An array of color in Summer permeates the gardens and meadows as native flora bloom in their successive turns amidst waving meadow grasses. Fall leaf color highlights the sculptures, surrounding them with rich autumnal colors. Winter is the time for seed heads and trees and sculptures wrapped in shining ice or snowy blankets.
