The tour showcases an array of exquisite private gardens in the hamlets of Spencertown, New Concord, and Red Rock, NY, as well as the restored gardens of 20th century American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay at Steepletop in Austerlitz, NY. Participants will get to explore the landscapes of several historic homes featuring abundant gardens and curated grounds with ponds and other water features; an enchanting shade garden and pond complementing a contemporary house in the woods; a charming brick sundial garden bordered by lavender and filled with blooming perennials; a formal ‘secret garden’ surrounded by a tall privet hedge; and one inspired by the iconic Grande Allee´ in Monet’s celebrated garden at Giverny.
