The Olmsted County Master Gardeners and the Olmsted County Historical Society are engaged in an ambitious project to restore the 10 remaining acres (three thousand existed originally!) of Mayowood's impressive gardens. These gardens developed in the early 1900's had fallen into disrepair. Over the past few years a great effort has been made to restore them. Sargent's is committed to supporting this process. This year 5% of sales from our Garden Rewards Summer Party were donated directly to the project.
