Central Park
New York, New York
New York's Central Park is the ultimate place to escape the big city. For residents and visitors, the 843 acres are a place of recreation, leisure and artistic inspiration. The famous Bethesda Terrace is just one of the many amazing architectural elements in a park created by Frederic Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. South Coast Botanic Garden
Palos Verdes, California
Perched on the western edge of Los Angeles and just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, South Coast Botanic Garden is an exciting and successful experiment in land reclamation. This beautiful landscape that was once a landfill now covers 87 acres and features 2,000 different species of plants. Many of the roses here have won the All-American Rose Selection Award.
Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum
Bristol, Rhode Island
In its glory days at the turn of the 20th century, Blithewold Mansion and Gardens was a place to hobnob with high society. The great lawn was so big that in later years, friends could land their plane and drop by for a visit. The garden boasts one of the largest sequoia trees on the East Coast and a weeping hemlock that doubles as a secret garden room.
