A beautiful place, so peaceful and calm filled with a vast collection of plants in formal garden beds. The history of this property is very interesting. It was a gift from the remaining daughter of the man who established a well known brewery, Grain Belt! He was an immigrant from Germany who arrived here and set about doing what Germans seem to be very successful at, brewing beer! Yes, he was very successful which resulted in this amazing gift to Minnesota thru his only surviving daughter upon her death in 1975.
Two Master Gardener volunteers met our group and gave us a guided tour thru the garden beds complete with identifying the plants for us and answering our questions about them. We saw many plants that we had not seen before and had a wonderful opportunity to recognize some of our favorites in various stages of their annual growth cycle. A simply delightful photo opportunity to enjoy!
