Portland Classical Chinese Garden
Portland, Oregon From the moment you enter the Portland Classical Chinese Garden, you are swept away to another time and place. Built to resemble the urban gardens of ancient China, the garden is a place of contemplation and relaxation in the shadow of downtown Portland. The garden has more than 500 tons of rock that have been specially placed, some around a pond that is kept emerald green to create dramatic reflections.
Tudor Place
Washington, DC
Tudor Place offers a serene getaway from the tourist bustle of Washington DC, yet still offers plenty of the history visitors come to the nation's capital to see. Six generations of Martha Washington's descendents lived at this Georgetown home that is surrounded by lovely gardens. Today a knot garden, a lily pool and a formal bowling green grace these historic grounds.
Kneeland-Walker House and Gardens
Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
The Kneeland-Walker property has remained mostly intact during more than a century of change. The Victorian lavishness of this landmark garden is in full evidence, thanks in part to the dedication of neighborhood volunteers. Many of the adult volunteers who now beautify the garden with coleus and lisianthus used to play in the garden when they were children.
