Maridell's blog: Shakespeare Garden in Wessington Springs, SD

Posted on Jul 9, 2012 12:31 PM

My husband and I went to a family reunion this past weekend in Wessington Springs, South Dakota. We visited a few of the local sites and I thought the garden photos might be enjoyed here.

The Shakespeare Garden and subsequently the Anne Hatheway House was inspired in 1926 by a local couple's trip to England. Plans for the garden started in 1927 after the trip, and the house in 1932 after the retirement of the couple. The roof of the house is a true thatch roof.

I took very few close ups of the NUMEROUS blooms...just not enough time.
