Garden Crew
At Preserve Historic Sleeping we are preserving and telling the story of Sleeping Bear heritage where life included living off the land with the growing of vegetable and berry produce, and flowers. We have three small gardens at the historic Charles and Hattie Olsen Farm, now home of the Port Oneida Heritage Center. Plants are either heirloom, or have been approved by Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore as native and of the time period. These gardens enrich the Sleeping Bear Dunes visitor experience and preserve an important piece of the heritage landscape.
