Spiral House Park
185 Fish Creek Rd, Saugerties, NY 12477, USA
Spiral House Park was previously the home of Tom Gottsleben, Patty Livingston, and their creative team Rafferty Rocks. What was once a quarry, they transformed into an artistic and natural wonder! Now the world can share their vision, as expressed through the sculpture, the gardens, the land, and the Spiral House itself.
2026 is our inagural season, but we have been transitioning the gardens from traditional to ecological since 2024. We have been splitting our efforts between garden redesigns, restoration plantings after invasive removal along the trails, and educational programming including the Ecological Gardening Series. Please visit our website to learn more or come on weekends from April to November to immerse yourself in the vibrancy of where art and nature intersect.
A small selection of the many pollinator plants you will find include many species of Symphyotrichum, Lobelia, etc . Some examples include many species of Symphyotrichum, Lobelia, and Monarda- also Vernonia, Sweetgrass, and plenty of Sunflowers. In the gardens, we have Eutrochium, Asclepias, Polemonium, Aquilegia canadensis, and many Violas.
Some of our favorites are Trillium luteum, Trollius laxus, Rubus odoratus, and Euonymus atropurpurea.
Along the trails , the restoration plantings include saplings of Salix discolor, Ilex verticilllata, Chasmanthium latifolium, and many others. Please come visit our habitats as they continue to flourish and grow!
