Edith Duff Gwinn Garden

Lovingly maintained by The Garden Club of Long Beach Island.


Equally as interesting as the museum building and its historical artifacts, is the surrounding award-winning garden. Its bayberry, red cedar, cactus, and beach plums are typical seashore plants found on a barrier island. The two-fold objective of creating a beautiful setting for the museum and preserving native plants and flowers has been successfully accomplished.  So, in a sense, these grounds have become an outdoor natural history museum. Come visit and wander the grounds.  The garden is open dawn to dusk year-round.
