Gardens of Pendarvis 

Garden paths at Pendarvis wind through
woods awash in blooming flora.

Nestled into its hillside niche, Pendarvis seems a natural extension of the land around it. Cottages of limestone, logs, and mortar back up against rock walls and terraces planted with blooming native flora. A shaded footpath winds up the hill from Shake Rag Street through gardens of lady slippers, hollyhocks, nasturtiums, poppies, violets, and other blossoming flowers that bestow splashes of vivid color. Though they date to the restoration undertaken by Robert Neal and Edgar Hellum in the 1930s, the verdant gardens of Pendarvis recall those the Cornish settlers planted upon their arrival in Mineral Point a hundred years earlier.
