Gorgeous Gardens: Formal Garden With Fountains

Once part of the historic Cheswold Estate out in Haverford, Penn., this carriage house was purchased and thoughtfully restored in 2014. Now the property features three formal gardens, including a courtyard full of lavender and roses. Tiered fountains and trimmed hedges enhance the beautiful, European aesthetic.
