Geocache Description:

This is a medium Lock n Lock container. Located in Fernwood Botanical Gardens and Nature Preserve along the beautiful St. Joseph River. Parking is only allowed at the Mary Plym Visitor Center. Please enter the grounds through this entrance before starting your search for all Fernwood caches.


Since there are Visitor Fees (see below), take time to hike the other numerous trails and gardens, take a break with visits to the Nature Center and Gallery Exhibits and if your present at lunch time you can bring your own picnic or select something from the cafe. Please make sure you pick up a map of the grounds and follow Fernwood's no off trail hiking rules.

Bring a pen or pencil as you will need one for several of Fernwood’s caches. This set of caches has been placed with Fernwood staff approval and allows visitors to explore the Arboretum at Fernwood. You have permission to hike off trail in this area only to search for caches.
