Sarah's Garden today

Of the 120 plants which through documentation we know Sarah grew, currently 70 can be found in the garden. The garden is being restored, preserved, cultivated and maintained by staff and community volunteers including University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners in McLean County and local 4-H Clubs.



"The garden is a living legacy to the character, strength, and passion of Sarah Walker Davis. If she were to visit today, I believe she would be pleased with the restoration of the garden, the historical and horticultural education and interpretation, as well as the pleasure that it continues to provide."

—Mary Jane Bohall, Master Gardener
