Reitz Home Museum Garden

The Reitz Home Museum Garden is located in the historic preservation district of Evansville on the corner of S.E. First and Chestnut Streets.  It is predominantly a shade garden with replica urns from the late 1800s and a small rose garden cascading over the visitors’ entryway. A variety of hostas, ferns, and hydrangeas are featured.  The Victorian Era feel to this garden makes it a lovely showcase for the many visitors that tour the museum.

Reitz Home Garden volunteers often hold special activities.  For example, they took on a trip to Big Roots Lavender Farm in Hawesville KY, on June 17th, 2019.
