Guests are invited to take full advantage of the grounds – relax on the front verandas, sit in the cool shade of the gazebo, spend peaceful moments beside the pond, or walk about and enjoy the many colours, shapes, and fragrances of the numerous shrubs and flowers that grace the gardens.

The gardens are an ideal resting place for nature lovers to enjoy the numerous species of birds attracted to the yard by birdbaths, birdhouses, and feeders. In fact, Prince Edward County is a renowned birding area of Ontario.

The gardens present a wonderful setting for wedding photos.

Our property is graced by what is alleged to be the largest and oldest Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae) tree in North America and is reported to be nearly 150 years old. Ginkgo trees are living fossils and date back at least 270 million years, as evidenced by the earliest known leaf fossils of the variety. These trees were rediscovered in 1691 in China and were brought to North America in the late 1700's. Individual trees may live as long as 3,000 years and the seeds and leaves are used in medicine throughout the world.
