About the Gardens at Hovey Pond:
Hovey Pond in the Town of Queensbury was the site of the Hovey Ice Company for many years and was also the site of a brick company, which extracted clay from the area around the current park. Hovey Pond Park opened in 1993 and the gardens were begun the same year. The gardens were the vision of Robert Eddy, chairman of the Queensbury beautification committee, who was inspired by the flower gardens at Wisley in Great Britain and realized the need for a public garden in the area. The gardens have grown slowly and evolved from a few flower beds to a group of diverse gardens encompassing approximately 1 & ½ acres. The gardens include a central mixed border, the blue garden, the white garden, the herb garden, a vegetable garden and a native plants garden. The garden is maintained exclusively by volunteers who work each Wednesday from April until October. The garden is funded by donations overseen by Friends of Hovey Pond, a not for profit established to ensure the garden’s continued existence. Infrastructure needs such as hardscaping are funded by the Town of Queensbury. Hovey Pond Park is on the most heavily utilized parks in the Town of Queensbury and each year thousands of people visit the park and gardens. Over the last few years the gardens have undergone extensive renovations to change traffic flows, add more plant diversity and create visual interest throughout the seasons.
