Information

Shakespeare Garden, contains many flowers named in Shakespeare's works. An Ivy sprig was taken from Shakespeare's grave in England and replanted here in this park. Mrs. George Swiler bought for the club and antique bronze sundial in Stratford with the inscription “Domine Direge Nos Londini 1700”. Which is on the London coat of arms and translates “Lord Direct Us”. This was to be mounted on a Bedford stone pedestal in the garden on Shakespeare's 364th birthday anniversary. Dedicated in 1928, the garden was created and designed by the ladies of the Shakespeare Club. Many readings and Shakespeare plays have been presented here overtime. It is the favorite location for a wedding.
