Discover our heritage garden
Under development since 2000, the Heritage Garden offers a living connection with early gardens on Cortes Island.
A fragrant and peaceful space, the garden features apple trees and flowering shrubs and roses, many from island homesteads. Heritage perennials include an ever-increasing collection of peonies, trumpet lilies, and dahlias.
Plant labels and an interpretive panel aid in the enjoyment of a stroll through the garden.
An illustrated brochure is available showing the garden layout and a listing of plants.
Visitors are welcome to enjoy their lunch at a picnic table under the shade of the apple trees and Heritage Garden greeting cards are available for purchase in the Museum Shop.
More pictures from our Heritage Garden can be found in this Facebook Heritage Garden Album.
