About Us
Amytis Gardens is a family run business. The 16 acres has been in the family for over 40 years, starting as a small homestead and farm.
Origin of the Name "Amytis Gardens"
The name 'Amytis Garden's is derived from one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
"In 1605 BC Nebuchadnezzar became king of Babylon. He was the most successful warrior king ever. The only people Nebuchadnezzar did not try to conquer were the Medes. They lived in the wild mountain country far to Babylon's north. Instead of fighting, Nebuchadnezzar won the Medes over by marrying their princess, Amytis, and made friendly alliance between the two nations. Amytis had never lived anywhere besides the mountains, and she was used to them, but Babylonia was flat. She watched Nebuchadnezzar's men building walls, temples, and city gates, and she longed for the mountains. Nebuchadnezzar ordered his men to build the Hanging Gardens to remind Amytis of her home".
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were shared with the people of the time and it was thought that the garden had healing effects of those who visited. Amytis Gardens, also set on a mountain, hopes to re-create the feeling of calm.
