Shirley Cross Wildflower Garden

This award-winning wildflower garden, conceived and designed by Dr. Shirley G. Cross, is a living museum for those interested in the study and use of wildflowers and is a highlight of the Green Briar experience. Situated in front of the 1780 homestead, the one-third acre garden was designed for teaching, has over 300 plants and is maintained by a small group of dedicated volunteers.

We are currently accepting applications for additional garden volunteers.

Especially in need of docents for our Wednesday Morning Garden tours
