Phase I:

First Phase of the Hammonds House Museum “garden greening” will be a Native Plant Sanctuary Garden at the back, or third tier, of the Hammonds House Museum property, with the intent to create a peaceful natural environment for meditation and communing with nature. An additional purpose of the Native Plant Sanctuary at Hammonds House Museum is to provide an aesthetically appealing and educational garden space composed of native plants and shrubs. This tranquil green space will expose the thousands of visitors, who frequent the Hammonds House Museum through museum visitation, programs offered and facility rental to the benefits of native plants, what they do for us, as well as the historical cultural and pharmacological uses of the plant species. Educational benefits also include identification of species, symbiotic support of the ecosystem and environmental conservation and what they do for the birds, butterflies and pollinators. These plants will serve to re establish our ecological connectivity.
