The tribute gardens are a series of 'outdoor rooms' that are available for a person, family or corporation to build in honor of someone they know or love.  The gardens are arranged and connected much as rooms would be in a home. The style of each outdoor room reflects that of it's affiliated indoor room. There is a recreation room, parlor, dining room, library, pantry, kitchen, and art room, along with a master bedroom and a bedroom suite! 

The recreation room is currently under construction.  Partially enclosed by a 'Victorian Style' fence, the recreation room features a mixed border of shrubs, perennials and ornamental grasses, a large walk area, and a central grass circle that features two, over- sized, Adirondack chairs.  The chairs not only add a sculptural quality, but also will be great props for pictures and for pre-K and elementary school teachers to sit upon while reading a quick lesson!

The concept of this series of gardens is to not only honor someone else, but to provide useful, educational and entertaining spaces for the public to enjoy.
