Glade:
This peaceful glen features a waterfall that empties into a series of ponds stocked with koi. Originally designed as a rock garden in the late 1920s by landscape architect Marian Coffin, it required 135 tons of imported limestone. Since then, the trees have closed the canopy overhead, forming a welcome shady retreat where trilliums and other wildflowers bloom on the ivy-covered bank. Yellow Japanese iris, cardinal flowers and ferns grace the margins around the pond. |
