Long term employee Richard Farr says that the plantation belongs to the visitors: it’s their garden. Isabella Plantation is significant for many people at all stages in their lives: some get engaged there, others scatter their ashes in their favourite spots. Many long term visitors find they are still able to visit as they get older or become disabled as the access for disabled people has steadily improved.
