Gardener's Focus: Floral Design and the Cutting Garden
Get an intimate look at Hillwood’s gardens with the experts!
Marjorie Merriweather Post loved displaying fresh cut flowers throughout her home. This tradition continues today as the cutting garden produces nearly one thousand stems a week during the height of summer. Tour the garden in all its glory and learn how Ami uses the blooms in arrangements throughout the property.
Tickets are distributed at the visitor center upon opening each day. A limited number of tickets may be pre-reserved by phone by Hillwood members. This twenty-minute tour is limited to ten and meets in the visitor center conservatory.
