Old Westbury Gardens located in Old Westbury New York is
one of the most beautiful estate gardens I have ever visited. Located on the
North Shore of Long Island, the magnificent Charles II-style mansion was
completed in 1906 by the English designer George A. Crawley. The grounds were
the former home of John S. Phipps along with his wife Margarita Grace Phipps
and their four children. Phipps had promised his fiancee that he would build
her a home in the United States that resembled her homeland of Battle Abby. The
23 room mansion is surrounded by 200 acres of meticulously manicured grounds,
formal gardens, woodlands and watersheds. It has been open for tours since 1959
and today is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Various events
take place on the grounds including classic car shows, concerts, Scottish
Games, school visits, garden tours, gardening classes, horticultural
demonstrations and workshops. It has certainly become one of my favorite places
to visit.
Oh how I love this place. You have captured the essence of it beautifully!
