Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small lock & lock tubberware covered in camo tape. The gardens are too the south of the cache and are open May15 till the end of August. The stairs to the east of the gardens lead to other caches on the top of Cliff Drive.

The Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens were established in 1889 and maintained until 1932 as residential gardens for the Moore and Turner families. The gardens remained untended and were reclaimed by nature until their rediscovery in 1998 following an ice storm. Parks and Recreation staff began an extensive research process and led a community master planning process to restore the gardens approved in 2000. With grant funding and community donations, the initial restoration process began in April 2005 to rescue the rose arbor and perennial garden staircases. Myrtle Woldson came forward on December 29, 2005 to fund the restoration in honor of her mother Edwidge Woldson.

Today, the Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens is owned and operated by the City of Spokane Parks and Recreation Department. The adjoining Daniel Chase Corbin property to the east and the Moore-Turner property were purchased by the Spokane Park Board in 1945 to form Pioneer Park. The Gardens are listed on the local and state historic registers and situated in the Marycliff/Cliff Park Historic District.
The Gardens were restored to the period they flourished following their redesign in 1911. Retaining their design between 1911 and 1914, some historic plant materials survived at the time restoration began. The majority of plant materials were reintroduced in 2007 based on historic research incorporated into the planting plan; approved by the Spokane Landmarks Commission, July 2006.
