Martha's Vineyard Garden Tour

This subtle example of the Greek Revival style on South Water Street in Edgartown looks even more striking when framed by hydrangeas.

Known for their spectacular flowers that bloom from the middle of June into July, the Kousa dogwoods (Cornus kousa) at the Polly Hill Arboretum are a species native to eastern Asia.

Inspired by Japanese garden designs, this bucolic setting in West Tisbury features landscaping by Indigo Farm that includes a waterfall and a variety of striking ground covers and plants such as Juniper procumbens ‘Nana,’ Potentilla neumanniana ‘Nana,’ Rhododendron ‘Cat Boursault,’ and Azalea ‘Hino Crimson’ (the red flowers in the background).

Small in scale and featuring a quaint but distinctive architectural style highlighted by bright, rainbow color schemes, the gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs, which is also referred to as “Cottage City,” is a popular tourist attraction that was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2005.
