Gardens & Grounds

Orchards, courtyards, row crops, ponds, and a forest are just some of the green spaces that make up the forty-five acres of Uhuburg.

​

Practical Gardening

Uhuburg has a produce garden, vineyards, greenhouse, tropical atrium, demo plots, a native garden, orchards, flowering gardens throughout the courtyards and plans for a mushroom room in the future. The various castle gardens are showcased below and indexed here:

​​

Produce Gardens

Uhuburg has 3 growing fields around the greenhouse and a vineyard. Produce is used in a variety of ways such as for overnight guests, â€‹and is sold during Day Visits as well as at a local market. We look forward to having a full farm stand available at all times in the future. 

​

In 2024 the fields were re-designed, irrigated and set up for a five year rotation by plant family. Always expanding our understandings from year to year, much of the work in 2024 was done to have a strong start in 2025. Regardless of it building a year to instigate strong structure and long term planning, the row crops have been very productive. Seeding and propagation occurs in the greenhouse.

 

The produce fields and greenhouse are open to the public during Day Visitors. Come see what's growing!

Zen Garden

The Zen Garden, traditional to Japan, offers a tranquil space for meditation and reflection. With its carefully raked gravel representing ripples in water, this garden is a visual masterpiece designed for contemplation upon it's front stone rather than walking through.​​​​
