Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens
About
The Heritage Gardens were restored to the period they flourished following their redesign in 1911. Some historic plant materials survived. Plant material was reintroduced in 2007 based on historic research incorporated into the planting plan; approved by the Spokane Landmarks Commission, July 2006.
The Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens are situated on a steep hillside with an elevation of approximately 120 vertical feet. As a historic site, to preserve historic integrity the structures, staircases, and trails retain their original design. You will experience numerous steps, inclines, and a lack of handrails.
The Moore-Turner Heritage Gardens opened to the public on Saturday, August 18, 2007. The public was invited to take a sneak peek of the site and view the restoration work to see the site in its infancy and enjoy the transformation as it evolves over the next few years. Open seven weekends from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the Gardens closed their first season on Sunday, September 30, 2007. 2,000 visited the site.
