HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

The arboretum includes antique and modern roses and is open dawn until dusk. It became a city of Chesapeake park in May of 2015. The antique roses are planted next to a modest 18th century farmhouse along with heirloom companion plants. The modern roses are planted in front of the greenhouse and vegetable garden. The farmhouse grounds include a wide variety of trees including massive old pecan, cedar and magnolia trees. Camellias, hydrangeas, and azaleas as well as a variety of native shrubs and trees round out this very southern garden.

Cross the street and explore over three miles of trail in a 48-acre southern hardwood forest. The frontage features flowering shrubs and trees with peak bloom in the spring. The trail south leads to a clearing planted with over 120 camellias which bloom from late fall to late spring; the central trail leads to a native tree walk with many labelled specimens including stewartia which blooms gloriously in late spring. A perennial stream runs the length of these woods and there are several footbridges to facilitate access.
