Our ever-evolving private gardens are considered to be among Vermont's largest and are in color continuously from April until winter.

Consider our Garden Tour & Tea—a great gathering idea for friends and family reunions, birthdays, showers, gardening groups or corporate events.

Carved out of woods and wetlands, this very original garden is laid out on two levels.

The Upper Garden surrounds the house and includes a lavish display of spring bulbs and flowering shrubs.

Curving paths wind through an extensive collection of varied plantings including hostas, shrubs, and perennials and then to open lawn.

Beautiful conifers and other specimens make the gardens a year round delight.

Sit in the sunken wall garden and listen to the tumble of water from the fountain. The ornamental fish and frogs will amuse you. The stonework will impress you!

The sunken wall garden is the perfect site for a small intimate wedding!

The spring and winter views of the sunken garden give you a sense of the stonework layout.

Annuals border one edge of the sunken wall garden.

Tulips border the edge near our home.

The banana tree in the sunken wall garden has grown over the years.

Enjoy our unusual "peacocks."

Take in a mid-summer mix of day lilies and zinnias.

The shade garden, shown in spring, borders the driveway.

Pottery and planted containers are artfully placed throughout the gardens.

A peaceful winter garden.

The Lower Garden is reached by passing a terraced wall garden.

Stroll down woodland paths under a canopy of mature evergreens, underplanted with woodland flowers, ferns, and shrubs, to reach the trout pond at "camp."

Here collections of heather, ornamental grasses, damp-loving plants, conifers, and waterlilies have transformed a meadow into an abundant garden embracing a reflecting pond, a trout pond, and "camp," all enclosed in a canyon of woods.

The Lower Garden in late summer offers perennial pleasures.

Plan on spending part of your evening in the sunken garden. There are path lights and underwater pond lights that shimmer on the stone wall.

It's peaceful and romantic—we'll provide the glasses, you can bring the champagne!

You might even see some garden visitors!
