Big Bone Gardens

Big Bone Gardens is mentioned in “Kentucky: A Guide to Unique Places,” a book by Zoe Ayn Strecker.  Here is the paragraph devoted to BBG:

Are you ready for lesson in botany?  Directly across the road from the state park is Big Bone Gardens, a six acre pleasure garden and sales nursery owned by Mark Lawhorn and Mary Ellen Pesek.  There are two big "twin" ponds, a bog area, two little ponds full of decorative aquatic plants that are for sale, and a super-duper campy concrete garden sculpture collection (baby deer and hoboes).  Plant prices range from $1 to $50, and the varieties range from common native waterside grasses to Asian lotus plants.
