It was the formal garden of the Fowler Estate, built in the 1880s as one of Warwick’s many mansions. Residents Hopi Lewis, Jean May and Mayor Michael Newhard can remember playing in the gardens or the ruins of the gardens as children.
The Tour, sponsored by Warwick-in-Bloom and the Warwick Conservancy, was filled with enough historical and woodland information to fill a small notebook. Of particular interest were the ruins of the earlier structures, a well, a bridge and the site of a few gazebos.
