This is a one-acre tract in which regional woodland and meadow wildflowers and ferns are displayed in attractive and meaningful groups. Trails, rest areas and signs help make a visit to the Faust garden educational and enjoyable. In the Faust Garden, winding paths lead to wildflowers which are labeled during their growing season.
The Pioneer Herb Garden provides visitors with a glimpse of the functional dooryard garden of American colonists. CNE's volunteer herb gardeners sponsor an annual herb and flower sale. Be sure to visit and choose from hardy,healthy, and beautiful herbs, perennials, and hanging flower baskets. Sale date May 21, 2005. **New volunteers are always welcome! (no previous herb or gardening experience is required.) Plants used by pioneers to make different dyes are featured in this garden, along with plants such as flax, milkweed, and teasel that were used by weavers.
It is in the Pioneer Log Cabin that the CNE volunteers maintain the herb garden and the new "Three Sisters Garden". CNE hosts programs on traditional crafts and folklore such as story-telling, candle making, and herb preservation in the Log Cabin area.
