About
Barbara’s garden, atop the beautiful Smithfield Valley in the heart of the Millbrook Hunt Country, is exhibited in vibrant colors in her perennial landscape around her cottage.
Her fashion background shows in the mix of color from an array of roses, Crocosmia, Russian sage, Allium ‘Globemaster,’ lilies, phlox, and many more among stone and cast-iron sculptures and stone walls on different levels. A peach and apple espalier is featured against the charming cottage. The views show the magnificent landscape of the Smithfield Valley, not a house in sight.
This garden's estimated size is 6 acres.
This Garden Host reports the following Terrain Notes about the garden: There is a steep driveway. The terrain is not flat. Bring walking stick if possible
