Shrub Garden
Less formal than the Italian Garden, the four-acre Shrub Garden is a rich, picturesque landscape with hundreds of woody plants. Designer Frederick Law Olmsted chose this site for a "secluded and genial" garden where guests could "ramble" along meandering paths lined with what is today 500 different varieties of plants, shrubs and trees. As the seasons change, so does the colorful pageant of jasmine, forsythia, lilac and cut-leaf Japanese maples.
Your self-guided visit of the Shrub Garden is included in estate admission.
