Step into spring at the historic Jordan House Gardens, where blooming bulbs welcome the season. Stroll the gardens, take in the sights and scents of early spring, and learn how you can be part of a growing, community-rooted garden that honors local history and shared heritage. Visitors are invited to bring a picnic blanket or lawn chair and relax beneath the century-old oak trees while enjoying a self-guided garden experience. Guided Garden Walks will be offered at 1:15 p.m. and 2:00 p.m., featuring stories of 1850s garden life, the history of bulbs in America, and modern planting approaches that support pollinators and climate resilience. Support the gardens through the purchase of curated seed packs, spring bulbs, and herb starters—perfect for your own garden at home. Learn more about volunteer opportunities, summer work nights, and the upcoming garden lecture series. Free and open to the public.
