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.
MAY 2025 UPDATE: Many members of the Reitz Home Crew met on April 14 to ready the garden for planting and mulching. After cleanup, we gathered and scheduled the coming season, enjoyed refreshments, and discussed a day trip. Anyone who would like to help is welcome. We will do our bucket brigade to carry the mulch so eat your Wheaties before you come.
