We are not primarily a garden for the production of food, although there are 
90 members who have individual tiny (4ftx3 foot)   plots that can grow a few 
tomatoes, some greens and herbs, etc)   We are pprimarily famous for our 
ornamental gardens, particularly tulip time.....and for the fact that we are 
(although a private non for profit organization) open to the public during the day, 
every day when the weather is clement.   We are particularly friendly to small 
children and the elderly.
