"Every culture has traditional herbal remedies. Our herb knot garden is a modern interpretation of a 16th-century English Tudor garden style. It features plants used in Asian, Native American, and European cooking and healing traditions. Centuries of research, originally based on plants from gardens like these, provide the foundation of modern pharmaceuticals."
"The Alexandra Hicks Herb Knot Garden honors “Sandy” Hicks (1934-1991) and her keen interest in herb gardening, culinary arts, healing plants and her enthusiasm in sharing these interests with others. Sandy was a past president of the Herb Study Group at the Gardens. Gifts donated in memory of Sandy helped fund the creation of this garden."
