Middletown Nature Gardens

In 1995, the city of Middletown, CT purchased the 18 acres (73,000 m2) of land and dedicated it open space.

This piece of land serves as a natural habitat to many plants and animals.

There are many trails to walk about surrounded by an array of diverse trees and shrubs.

Some of the types of trees and shrubs include red cedar, flowering dogwood, highbush blueberries, white pine, and speckled alder.

There are also vernal pools, which are habitats for salamanders and wood frogs in the southeast corner of the park.
