Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center was known originally as "Merchiston Farm." With over 100 acres of fields, woodlands and a formal garden, Bamboo Brook is being restored to its original glory.
There are many native plants, trees and a hiking trail that winds along the brook and through the fields. Birds, butterflies and other animal life are visible as visitors tour the grounds.
This rock garden features rare and exotic rock garden plants. The peak time is spring when the flowers begin to bloom.
