Features three gardens:
The Ornamental Gardens consist mainly of hardwood trees in the grassy lawns, with decorative features such as the circle bed and the gazebo.
The Orchard contains a number of old apple varieties, including Northern Spy, Russet, Tolman Sweet and Baldwin.
The Vegetable Garden is a half-acre of intensively cultivated land. In some areas, plants are the varieties that would have been grown during the period. In cases where these are no longer available, species that resemble the older varieties are used instead. Where possible, period tools and historic techniques are used in planting and maintaining the gardens.
