Stop by and visit Kitchen Linen Company and see Goodell Gardens as it bursts into Spring. This is a great opportunity to find gifts for all the special mom’s in your life.
Goodell Gardens & Homestead is a non-profit botanical garden and accredited arboretum located in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. Goodell Gardens was created at the behest of Carrie and Margaret Goodell, the sole remaining heirs to the Goodell family. The Garden’s historic relevance is derived from the farmstead property belonging to the Goodell family since 1876 (originally purchased by the sisters’ grandfather George Goodell). The Goodell family is also interlaced with the origins of Edinboro, as they were involved in early business, political and educational developments. From a horticultural perspective, the Goodell Heritage Garden is historically significant in the diversity of cultivated plant species held, along with its being a representative of American old-fashioned or heirloom gardening in general.
