The private garden at the historic Waggener home is maintained by Chuck and Jane Vielehr. It was at one time an apple orchard and later converted to a garden by John Waggener. The Vielehrs plant a combination of vegetables and flowers and experiment with new plantings each year. The garden is a labor of love for those who take care of it, and it is appreciated by many friends, neighbors and family members throughout the summer season.
