Inscription.
One of the many impressive features of the Grange would have been the extensive gardens that surrounded it. Hamilton's gardens would have had many exotic plants that he had received from his close friend, Dr. Hosack, founder of the Elgin Botanic Garden, the first public botanical garden in the United States. The images below are renderings of what the gardens in front of the Grange might have looked like according to Hamilton's description.

Currently, many of the trees and plants that Hamilton had planted around the Grange have been included on the grounds and they bloom at different times throughout the year. For more information and pictures on what is in the bloom please visit: www.nps.gov/hagr/learn/historyculture/collections.htm
