Discover the Gardens at Mystic Seaport
In Mystic Seaport's 19 acres you will find a diverse collection of gardens, trees and shrubs. Our 9 different gardens contain hundreds of different varieties of plants which accentuate the beauty and historical context of the river, ships, and historic village. The gardens are educational tools to create interest in plants and gardening. Likewise, the gardens are designed to motivate and excite everyone about horticultural history and our heritage as New England gardeners. We have a unique setting that contains plants of interest for everyone. Our trees, shrubs, and gardens are labeled indicating both the common and botanical name. Mystic Seaport has re-created two 19th Century gardens which portray the social order, economy, and cultural pursuits brought about by the Industrial Age. Most plants used are heirloom varieties, many of which are popular today. In addition there is a children's zoo garden of plants with names like elephant ears to appeal to future gardeners. We invite you to take a virtual stroll through the gardens at Mystic Seaport by clicking on the tabs below. Better yet, bring the entire family and come to Mystic Seaport and explore the gardens in person. Finally, be sure to check out the speakers and vendors of our previous Garden Days event held in August 2009! Gardens are marked with
