Stonecrop Gardens

Frank Cabot, who started the Garden Conservancy, and his wife Anne built their own gardens around their home near Cold Spring, NY.  The house is at an elevation of 1.100 feet surrounded by sixty hilltop acres. They bought the property in 1958 and opened the gardens to the public in 1992. 

Their original interest was in alpine plants, but there are now 15 acres of woodland, alpine, perennial, tropical, and succulent specimens and a 2,000 square-foot conservatory. Visitors are greeted with a plant list of over 500 specimens on view. Many may find that overwhelming, but I was delighted!

This first pic is for Sharon--a close-up of a fairy garden in a stone trough. See the gardener behind the stone wall and the gazebo made of sticks?
