SOLD OUT-Late Summer Garden Stroll

SOLD OUT! We hope you will join us for another upcoming program or a Garden Stroll next year.

Join us for our August Summer Garden Stroll!  Enjoy a late afternoon on the historic grounds of "Walden", the Cyrus H. McCormick estate. Warren H. Manning, author of The History of Walden, was the landscape architect. The original formal garden "included a broad turf central walk terminated by the pool, lead fountain, steps, terrace, and on its westerly side a brick wall with gates." Ralph Griswold designed the walled garden in 1932.  The garden terminated north at the entry on this Bluff's Edge Road property.   Come enjoy this beautiful property awarded with a 2023 Historic Preservation Award for restoration of the original garden wall.

Light bites and summer refreshments will be served.
