Gibson Garden

2021 Ellis Hollow Road
Ithaca, New York
Regular Hours:

Gibson’s cottage-style garden roams around a white farmhouse that allows garden views from the front porch and back patio. Included are a large front shade garden, two partial-sun side gardens, and a hillside shrub garden along the side and back patio. The “drifts of one” garden uses plant combinations the majority of which are perennials. There is an emphasis on unique plants and those with large and colorful foliage, interspersed with favorite annuals and vines. Enjoy the view from benches located along the rock-lined garden paths.

Directions:
Take Route 79. Pass Caroline Elementary School and take first left onto Ellis Hollow Road. Go 1 mile to top of hill.
