Freshwater GardensThere are five water gardens on Pier 1, each with different ornamental plantings, and connected by four weirs pump-ing water between them. The Freshwater Gardens host an incredible array of native birds, insects, and turtles and boast bright blooms in springtime. They are a favorite of our growing butterfly and migratory bird populations.

Woodland GardensThe Woodland Gardens consist of plants native to the northeast that are commonly found in and around the edges of the region’s forests. They are densely planted with trees, shrubs, flowering herbaceous plants, grasses and sedges. On Pier 1, the beds function as a “hedgerow” to block wind and excessive sun.

Ornamental GardensLocated at the main entrance to Pier 1, the Ornamental Gardens are comprised of both native and exotic plants selected for their gorgeous spring flowers. From the carpeting of Spanish Bluebells to the show-stopping Southern Magnolia, these plants have both the beauty and brawn to thrive in a waterfront park setting.
