Located at 146 Clapboard Ridge Road, the formal terrace and boxwood parterre at the base of this elegant 1930s Georgian Revival house set the stage for a series of magnificent garden experiences.

The eight-acre property includes oak and beech trees, rose and wisteria arbor, a small fruit orchard, fountains, an iris garden planted with more than 10,000 Siberian iris, and, finally, a rustic stone grotto, which is the source of the woodland stream bordering the south edge of the property.

The gardens as enjoyed by visitors today are the result of a close collaboration of over five years between the present owner and Virginia-based landscape architect Charles J. Stick.

The garden will be open on Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Based in Cold Spring, N.Y., the Garden Conservancy has been opening some of America's best private gardens to the public since 1995.
