Inside the walls of Ships of the Sea lies a hidden treasure—our historic gardens.

As we prepare for an ambitious season of horticultural programming and the 2027 debut of acclaimed topiary artist Michael Gibson’s exhibition, The Voyage, we invite you to become part of this next chapter. Become a founding supporter of the Boxwood Society or Friend of the Garden and enjoy special experiences while helping shape the future of this remarkable place.
