Open Days Garden Tour

We visited another garden during the Open Days fundraiser for the Garden Conservancy, and what a special garden. It’s on the crest of the hill above the banks of the Hudson near Piermont, and overlooks the whole valley from its perch. We were quite sad that clouds and fog prevented us from fully taking in the view, but what we saw was spectacular and inspiring.

Two outdoor kitchens! Two!

I loved this detail of a millstone water feature built into the patio:

Stepping stones leading to that patio:

And also how there were plants growing all in and around these flagstones near the driveway:

I took this photo because I like how the stones fit together:

This feature in the center of a grand lawn was very eye-catching:

And here we have what’s called a folly — a cottage or other structure made to look like ruins:

The roof is completely open.

I was standing on a perch you get to through a circular staircase, and here was the view from above:

And a little more wandering around the property:

I think everyone quite enjoyed the tour.

 

I don’t really need to describe every aspect here
