Spring Gardens <\/b><\/h1>\n

It\u2019s officially springtime in Mystic, which means warmer weather is on the way, farmers markets, walks by the beach, and spring gardens!

Whether you\u2019re a local or a visitor, Mystic\u2019s spring gardens offer the ideal setting to enjoy the season\u2019s best, capture stunning photos, and create lasting memories while soaking in the outdoors.<\/p>\n

Mystic Seaport Gardens\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Home to a diverse collection of gardens spread across its 19-acre campus. The Mystic Seaport Gardens showcase hundreds of plant varieties, with each one labeled with both its common and botanical name, allowing visitors to learn more about horticulture. The gardens not only showcase the beauty of the Mystic River, ships, and village but also serve to educate others in gardening and New England\u2019s horticultural history. The museum offers two re-created 19th-century gardens, the Burrows House garden and the Buckingham-Hall House garden, which reflect the social, economic, and cultural changes of the Industrial Age. Many of the plants featured in these gardens are heirloom varieties that were popular during that time.<\/p>\n
