Join our community in supporting the Baker Hunt Gardens!
The Baker Hunt Gardens have stood for over a century, inviting generation after generation of community members to step away from the pavement and bustle. Lovingly maintained by a group of volunteers named “The Garden Club,” these grounds offer much to our neighborhood and community, and have asked little in return. But like all life, plants grow up, they mature, and they eventually come to their natural end. Our gardens are maturing, our trees are over a century old, and its time to start planting for the future. Baker Hunt is asking our community and our neighbors to join in and help us grow our gardens so future generations can enjoy the same “urban oasis” we love today.
