An Unparalelled Natural Experience at Abbey Gardens

There are various garden projects, scenic trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, installations for energy, sustainability, and land restoration education, a five-acre pony paddock for equine workshops, demonstration hoop houses, beekeeping, and much more. Our site is also home to several partner businesses that share our founding principles, thus creating a true community destination for locals and tourists.

This team is focused on creating educational experiences for visitors through workshops, tours, and exposure to sustainable demonstrations such as composting, soil regeneration, and more, as well as developing opportunities for the community to get outside and enjoy nature within our various amenities.
At Abbey Gardens, everything we do onsite serves our mission to live more sustainably. Through educational programming, fundraising and fun, we’ve created an experience which provides inspiration for others to embody that same mission long after
Our property winds through a variety of environments, with forests, meadows, rivers, ponds and much more. It’s a picturesque venue for any of life’s special moments.
