Period Garden Park
- Public garden
- Madison
Period Garden is a tiny planted retreat on East Gorham Street in Madison.
Flowers, paths and carefully arranged garden features create a quiet alternative to the surrounding streets. Volunteers support the garden, so its appeal lies in close observation of a compact landscape rather than extensive recreation facilities.
Stay out of all planting beds and leave movable items where they belong. Alcohol is prohibited. Follow posted hours, share the limited paths and seating with other visitors and respect neighboring property. Seasonal planting changes mean that the garden will look different throughout the year.
