November Update from the Executive Director of Greenwood Gardens

 

 

 

 

Discover Greenwood This Weekend

Dear Friends,

Our 2024 season has passed incredibly quickly! As we prepare to close for the winter months, we invite you to visit us this last weekend if you haven’t already. Today, Saturday, and Sunday, the gardens are still offering up nature’s gorgeous palette, including ruby red and golden trees and brilliantly hued perennials and shrubs. Plan to take a revitalizing stroll; you will be richly rewarded at every turn.

Be sure to stop on the Main Lawn where the sweeping views of our terraced Main Axis, stately fountains, and the surrounding South Mountain Reservation will surely take your breath away. Walk down the main staircase and lend an ear to the gentle gurgling of water at the D-shaped pool fountain. Head east toward the Teahouse where you can let your hair down like Rapunzel in this original 1920s two-story garden folly. Linger on a comfortable bench overlooking the ponds where our geese enjoy their dreamy afternoon swim. Take a tour with one of our knowledgeable docents who will happily make history come alive for you.

Greenwood Gardens is an enchanted haven that exists for the benefit of the public. Make a point to soak up all the nature, beauty, and history it has to offer this weekend.   

 

Warmest wishes,

Abby O'Neill
Executive Director
