Old Greeley Flower Garden Of Mr and Mrs Plumb
One of Greeley’s oldest and largest gardens sits at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ovid Plumb who came from New York over 30 years ago. The plot features old fashioned flowers like phlox daylilies larkspur and hollyhocks with intertwined green vines and New England ferns in cool shady spots. The couple’s health has faded but the garden thrives with minimal care and continues to bring beauty to the town and memories of past celebrations and loved ones.
