It is open for orders now. Shipping will begin in mid November. For holiday gifting, please order by December 1. The sale will end on December 15.

The Mills Garden is back open!
The E.M. Mills Garden is back open to the public!
After a season of delayed maintenance due to the Syracuse Parks and Rec paver replacement and accessibility project, the Mills Garden at Thornden Park is now open!
This fall, Syracuse Parks and members of the Syracuse Rose Society teamed up with community volunteers for a much-needed cleanup at the Rose Garden.
Although the rose season has come to a close, stay informed on the happenings at the Garden all year long by following us on our Facebook Page!
