Hidden among the vibrant blooms and winding paths in Defiance, Missouri, a special geocache rests on land with deep roots. This 30-acre property has been carefully tended since 1953, when it was first cultivated by a local family with a passion for the natural world. Over the decades, what began as open countryside slowly transformed into a thriving garden landscape, shaped by generations of care and connection to the region.
The land itself tells a story—of native plants adapting through the seasons, of trees that have stood for decades, and of a space that has quietly grown alongside the community. Winding trails and curated plantings now weave through what was once wild terrain, inviting visitors to explore a living tapestry of local history and natural beauty.
