Park

The Children's Garden

Located just past the Museum, this garden has evolved into an area that encourages children to enjoy the taste, touch, smell and look of gardening. The Middlesex first graders help plant "edible" landscape areas every year as part of their field trip to the park. Plants include Bee Balm, Black Eyed Susan, Peanut butter tree, Banana plant, and seasonal squash, tomatoes, and herbs, along with strawberries and blueberries.
The Shoreline

Several years ago the museum started a restoration project to stabilize the shoreline. This project was so successful there are plans to stabilize the remaining shoreline.
The Sculpture Garden

Don't miss a walk in the woods, just past the Boat Shop. The unexpected wildlife sculptures guide you down a trail outlined with encore azaleas, blooming through spring, summer and fall. The surprise the Woodland Garden holds will certainly make you take a moment and enjoy the serenity of the woods. Benches donated by patrons dot the landscape for such peaceful outings.
