SPOHR GARDENS
Margaret and Charles D. Spohr began
creating this amazing setting around
their home in the 1950’s and welcomed
visitors who had heard of its beauty.
With the passing of Charles and his
wife, the gardens passed to the Spohr
Charitable Trust which supports the
garden’s upkeep. Take a leisurely walk
in this magnificent six-acre garden
located at Oyster Pond. This beautiful
site is open daily from 8AM – 8PM.
Admission is Free to the general public.
