  30 acres; largest annual garden in US. Leaming's Run is divided into 25 individually designed and expertly crafted gardens. Some include bridges and ponds and other scenic elements. Each garden is designed around a different theme, with something of interest to just about everyone. With such a wide variety of plants and flowers, blooms can be expected throughout the Garden's open season. A special treat: in August, hundreds of Hummingbirds are attracted to Leaming's Run by the colorful flowers. Such a concentration of these delicate birds is certainly a rare phenomenon.
