In 1979 the garden was planted as an 1800\u2019s Formal Garden. Many of our heirloom plants are blooming now, Dictamnus albus (Gas Plant) flowering pink and white; Heuchera (Coral Bells) flowering pink; Salvia (Sage) flowering blue. Gardens are alive! They&nbsp;evolve and grow and change. The Museum Garden is listed on the Pollinator Pathway; our herbs and plants attract insects, butterflies, bees and birds. Gardening is rewarding. The phlox patch barely covering the ground in April is full in May and will bloom in June. The garden is a respite on a busy throughfare. Stop by and enjoy our unique display of plantings.<br><br>Happy National Garden Week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
