Clegg Memorial Garden / NICHES offices
The Jerry E. Clegg Memorial Gardens have long (since 1965) provided easy access to developed botanical gardens on the east edge of Lafayette. With many labeled wildflowers and trees along a series of nature walking paths transversing 1.4 miles, a visit here can be quite informative. The impact of Jim Peterson, long-time Clegg Garden steward and past director of the Roy Whistler Foundation, can be felt at this 16 acre property is on a hillside bank of the Wildcat Creek.
In 2014 NICHES (Northern Indiana Citizens Helping Ecosystems Survive) moved their offices to the primary building at Clegg Memorial Botanical Gardens. The Roy Whistler Library will soon become one of the features of the Clegg cottage.
