Tapper Gardens

THE TAPPER GARDENS COVER 3 ½ ACRES WITH BOTH A JAPANESE AND EUROPEAN ATMOSPHERE. THE GARDENS BEGAN IN 2000 AS A HOBBY AND QUICKLY BECAME A LABOR OF LOVE.

YOU WILL SEE THREE BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE STYLE PONDS, A 180 FOOT REFLECTION POOL AND THREE WATERFALLS. THE GARDENS INCLUDE THREE SCULPTURES BY NATIONALLY RENOWNED BRONZE ARTIST JASON NAPIER.

THE SCULPTURE OF A MOTHER COUGAR AND HER CUB (CALLED PRECIOUS CARGO) IS SURROUNDED BY A LOVELY FOUNTAIN. THIS SCULPTURE WAS PLACED IN 2002.

THE SECOND SCULPTURE TO BE ADDED TO THE GARDENS WAS THE HERONS (NAMED POETIC GESTURES) AND PLACED IN THE SMALL POND NEAR THE JAPANESE GARDEN IN 2006.

THE MOST RECENT SCULPTURE ADDED JUST THIS YEAR IS THE TWO SWANS FLYING THROUGH THE REFLECTION POOL. THIS SCULPTURE IS CALLED WATER JOCKEYS.

THE GARDENS CONTAIN OVER 4,000 BUSHES, TREES AND PLANTS. THERE ARE ALSO ADDITIONAL SMALLER GARDEN AND POND AREAS THROUGHOUT THE TEN ACRE ESTATE.

THE TAPPER GARDENS ARE A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE FOR NATURE LOVERS OF ALL AGES. THE PEACEFULNESS OF THE GARDENS IS IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS TO ALL.

SO, PLEASE, RELAX, TAKE YOUR TIME AND ENJOY THE TAPPER GARDENS.
