Connie Gretz’s Secret Garden is located on Cottage Row across from the NY Chinese Scholar’s Garden. The Staten Island Botanic Gardens are well developed horticultural display in Europe. The Garden is only one of its kinds in the New York area. The garden brings the medieval landscape to the new age. It has a maze made up of intricate pathways lined with evergreens. It has been specifically designed for children and challenges their minds as they try to find the location of the secret garden.
