Open Days Program Garden Tour - Rocky Hills
Private garden tour at Rocky Hills in Mt. Kisco to benefit the Garden Conservancy.
The public is invited to tour Rocky Hills - The Garden of William and Henriette Suhr on Saturday, May 23, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
At Rocky Hills, planting among the stone walls began some fifty years ago and continues to this day. You will find mature specimens of black walnut and ash, complemented by recent additions of weeping beech, dawn redwood, stewartia, dogwood, and an impressive collection of magnolia and conifers. Tree peonies and an extensive planting of rhododendrons and azaleas compete for attention with the carpet of bulbs throughout the thirteen acres. Most impressive in May and June are the forget-me-nots, which are allowed full freedom throughout the garden. Starting on the hillside meadow, clouds of perfect blue flowers appear among an ever expanding rock garden, through the hills and terraces, walls and paths, through fern woodlands, finding good company with self-sown primula along the natural brook that serves as the heart of the garden.
Cost: $7 per person; children 12 & under free.
