What this Garden Especially is Known For.

Naturalistic landscape and park like grounds. A large variety of gardens and breathtaking trees from all over the world. The mansion itself is amazing, as well. I highly recommend going here.

There is a Japanese Garden, a rose garden, an Italian Garden, a blue and white garden, Pansy garden, Moonlight garden, Old-fashioned garden, Rock garden, and Specimen trees. It is all very breathtaking.

Advice

  • I love all about this garden. The history of this mansion and gardens is very amazing and interesting. You must be sure to spend the day. They have a delicious cafe' and the gift shop is wonderful as well.
