The Farmingdale State Ornamental Horticulture teaching gardens consist of over four acres. These gardens were developed beginning in the 1930's by the horticulture students and faculty. Today they continue to be renovated and changed by the students and horticulture faculty.
Seasonal Garden Hours:
Everyday 8AM to 8PM during the growing season (April to November, No Fee)
Directions to cache: The cache is not in the main garden area but in the wooded area a bit west of the gardens. Park in the lot on the north side of the gardens and walk south, towards the greenhouse. Cache is in a dark wooded area,west of the greenhouse. After finding the cache, please walk around the south end of the greenhouse and then east into the gardens to see the full beauty of this place and appreciate the hard work that the students have done to create and maintain this special place. Note that they often lock the northern gate to these gardens but you can always walk around to the southern entrance which is always open! Note: As of winter 2017, the main gardens are fenced off but the cache is always accessible. The police department is just northwest of gz but the heavy foliage blocks their view of your searching
Please place cache back, the way you found it.
