We consider our Gardens an arboretum, an animal habitat, a bird santuary.
When we purchased our land in 1992, it was an empty lawn with a small fruit orchard, invasive plants, and a few non-native foundation plantings.
Over these many years, we have planted hundreds of trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, and bulbs to improve the environment and benefit the species and organisms that work together for us.
Our goal is to provide our Visitors with a unique Garden Tour of our three acres describing and showing the biodiversity that is critical to the health of our planet.
Our guided tours focus on what interests you, whether growing your own organic vegetables, or how you can encourage native birds and bees to reside in your garden.
Each Garden area is a study of textures, forms, broad vistas, intimate settings, and color Benches, swings, arbors, tables & chairs are nestled into and around the garden for picnics before or after your Garden Tour.
Like the Pleasure Gardens of old, we will stroll with you, at your leisure, over the many grassy, mulched, and smooth woodland paths over the gentle terrain.
We hope you relax, listen to the birds, enjoy the plants, and take home ideas you can use in your garden.
Sincerely,
Lesley, Tom, and Moon
Pleasure Gardens were the amusement parks of Georgian England, during the 18th and 19th centuries, allowing visitors a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of city
life whild offereing them a variety of picturesque gardens, strolling paths, musical concerts, al fresco dining, waterfalls, fountain displays, dancing, and even firework shows.
There existed an attraction for almost everyone of eery taste, not least important among them being the chance to see and be seen by members of London high society.
