The Hartman Prehistoric Garden highlights plant species that date back to ancient times, offering a look at vegetation similar to what once grew alongside dinosaurs. The garden features a range of primitive and early plant groups, including ferns, cycads, and other long-standing species that have shaped Earth’s plant history.
