A Beautiful, Hands-on Garden for Active Adults

Well-Spring, along with a partnership with the Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden in Kernersville, provides Well-Spring’s horticulture-oriented residents with additional learning opportunities.

Ciener experts offer some hands-on guidance with residents who sign up to grow vegetables, flowers or herbs in our raised-bed garden, featuring 43 elevated containers for gardening enthusiasts. They also will offer a wide array of educational talks and lectures on horticulture.

“We are thrilled to partner with Well-Spring and share our wealth of knowledge and expertise with other garden enthusiasts,” said John Whisnant, Ciener’s executive director. “Since gardening is the number one pasttime in America, it seemed like the perfect fit.”

Well-Spring created its raised-bed garden a few years ago and most recently upgraded the facility with high-tech gated fencing and a roomy potting shed.

Opened in 2011, the Ciener Garden was the vision of the late Paul J. Ciener, a well-known businessman and owner of Ciener Woods Ford. Ciener loved horticulture and toured great gardens around the world, studying plants and garden styles. The garden is his gift to the region that gave so much to him. When fully developed, it will boast more than 25 individually styled garden areas, an amphitheater, wetlands and more. It already is a popular event space for weddings and parties.
