The old style of this park will make you appreciate your Edgerton Park apartment. The Edgerton Park Conservatory is an ideal place for the New Haven apartment resident to visit when you have plans for a garden one day or are cultivating one right now on your apartment balcony. And should you have a strong interest in botany, you can become a volunteer at this volunteer-run conservatory. Designed in the old style of an English garden, you will be swept away in nostalgia. It's an emerald in the city of New Haven, for not only was it donated to the city in 1965, but it offers a wide range of activities to both dwellers of New Haven apartments (observers) and the gardening enthusiast him or herself. In the Sarah T. Crosby Conservatory, plants from around the world are displayed, and in both a dry landscape and a rain forest display. And you don't have to have a garden, even if you live in an Edgerton Park apartment, because the conservatory has community gardens where you may raise vegetables and flowers. You must keep your commitment to keep the area nice looking, however, so make it your hobby. The grounds are beautiful and appropriate for rental for that special occasion or even a wedding event. You can become a member of this lovely organization and get in free every time you visit for a mere $30 a year. An additional $35 allows you to use the community gardens. A few annual events occur here as well, including Sunday in the Park every September, the Elm Shakespeare Company performances in the summer, and the CT Folk Festival, also in September. So whether you want to start your own garden or just enjoy relaxing around plants, if the Edgerton Park Conservatory is nearby to your apartment, it's a good idea to check it out.
