This weekend, it's all about the June blooms! The gardens are looking lush and full of color, especially our
Rose Garden. The Rose Garden, created in 1888, is one of the oldest features of the
estate and was originally a flower garden with a marble fountain as a
central feature, with four quadrants containing boxed-edged walks in
between. The addition of the summer house and Italianate balustrades 20 years later made this a truly special garden feature.
