About

Inspired by nature

Seward Johnson loved Hopewell Valley – the beautiful expanse of field and forest of St. Michaels, a sense of well-being and return to nature. He would have loved people wandering, finding their own story as they take advantage of the surrounding trails and community. This ‘giant’ amplifies that feeling.
