Leonard J. Buck Garden

The garden is one of the nation's premier rock gardens, featuring native and exotic plants displayed in a naturalistic setting of woodland, streams, and rock outcroppings.

A wooded, rocky ravine is home to numerous wildflowers interspersed among flowering trees and shrubs.

The garden is sculpted from a glacial stream valley known as Moggy Hollow Natural Area, where waterfalls once cascaded, leaving behind rock faces, outcroppings, ponds and a stream.
