Rare Guided Tour of Restored Mansion Gardens

The New England Landscape Design and History Association (NELDHA) kicks off its new program – the Preservation Network – with a rare guided tour of the classic gardens of The Elms, a famed Newport mansion owned by the Preservation Society of Newport County, RI. The discussion will cover the landscape restoration in detail, including the challenges overcome and solutions implemented to preserve one of the great landscapes of America’s Gilded Age. Tour will be held rain or shine.
