From our website: "The Maple Hill Gardens ... are open to the public for daily viewing. The gardens are maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers known as the Maple Hill Gardeners.  The optimum season for viewing the gardens is from April through October. There are 13 Theme gardens, a wildflower trail, a natural play area and a demonstration compost court at Maple Hill Farm.

History: Maple Hill Farm was named by Franklin and MaryAnn Colburn, owners from 1868-1917. Franklin planted maple trees in front of the house along Ridge Road to commemorate the nation’s centennial. He also built a gazebo for his wife so she could host teas in her garden. MaryAnn and subsequently her daughter Minnie, both enjoyed learning about local flora and fauna and led nature walks for children on their property.

In 1985, the Beaver Brook  office moved from Brown Lane to Maple Hill Farm.  The Maple Hill Gardeners were formed in 1981 and largely expanded the original garden beds to include the variety you can see today."
