Another wonderful opportunity to enjoy Stonecrop Gardens. Originally the home of Frank and Anne Cabot, Stonecrop became a public garden in 1992 under the direction of Caroline Burgess. Frank Cabot is also the founder of the Garden Conservancy. The display gardens cover an area of about twelve acres and incorporate a diverse collection of gardens and plants including woodland and water gardens, a grass garden, raised alpine stone beds, a cliff rock garden, perennial beds, and an enclosed English-style flower garden. Additional features include a conservatory, display alpine house, pit house with an extensive collection of choice dwarf bulbs, and systematic order beds representing over fifty plant families.
Open Days garden tours are self-guided and flexible. You can shape your itinerary and set the pace to suit your interests.
Rain or shine. No reservations required.
Fee: $5 to each garden, children 12 and under FREE
