This Garden, is a serene and elegant destination renowned for its formal landscaping and peaceful atmosphere. This six-acre gem is divided into three distinct sections: the Italian Garden, the French Garden, and the English Garden, each showcasing unique designs and seasonal blooms.
The garden’s entrance through the wrought-iron Vanderbilt Gate sets the tone for a tranquil experience. To fully appreciate the space, take your time strolling along its manicured paths, pausing to admire features such as the grand central fountain, the Burnett Fountain inspired by The Secret Garden, and the charming pergolas adorned with wisteria.

It is especially enchanting during spring and summer when the vibrant flowers are in full bloom, or in autumn when the foliage provides a stunning backdrop.

The Conservatory waters are very popular in winter due to the ice skating rink, but should spring comes, the popularity of the three gardens surge. I really enjoy spending time next to the Secret garden, “hidden” at the heart of the English garden. With all those blooming flowers you feel like in a fairy tale.

Three sections are North, which is French style garden, South, which is English style garden and the Central one is an Italian style garden.
The North Garden has a fountain of Three Dancing Maidens, which is known as Untermeyer Fountain. The North Garden is currently under renovation at the time of my visit.
