Teaching Garden

Our Teaching Garden is designed to educate people about how plants can affect people and animals. We selected plants from our region that can cause harm if ingested, so please be cautious when visiting the garden, which is located in the SVM Courtyard. Pets and children should be closely supervised. Our thanks to the ASPCA, which served as a source for the material about the plants. More information is available online on the ASPCA's website.
