Cantigny, Flamingo and Bellamy-Ferriday
Great American Gardens : Episode GAG-103 -- More Projects »
Cantigny Park
Wheaton, Illinois
Prairie grasses may have once waved here but now there are islands of color. The ancient oaks that once dominated the open prairie still reign over the beds of flowers. Its 15 manicured acres are carpets of ever-changing color. Flamingo Gardens
Davie, Florida
Just north of Miami, Flamingo Gardens boasts 65 acres of exotic flora and fauna. What was once orange groves is now a patch of paradise with more than 3,000 species of tropical and subtropical plants. Delicate coral flamingos, pelicans, blue-beaked ducks and peacocks dot the landscape with color. Bellamy-Ferriday House and Garden
Bethlehem, Connecticut
In the landscape of western Connecticut, American history has deep roots. Here, on the nine acres of the Bellamy-Ferriday House and Garden, history comes alive in the garden. A formal French garden is patterned after a parlor rug. And there's a willow tree grown from a cutting of a tree at Napoleon Bonaparte's gravesite.
