historic house & gardens
Set on 17-acres of rolling landscape and located minutes from downtown Harrisburg, Trimble Gardens is forever protected from development by Natural Lands. The original design forms the foundation for the landscaped terraces of flowerbeds, relaxed hedges, the Japanese garden and the herb & vegetable gardens. The history of these gardens will continue to be written — as plans for expanding the garden continues.
