The Brine Garden – Duncan & Julia Brine
21 Bluebird Inn Road, Pawling, NY
Underway since 1990, this six-acre garden and arboretum reflect both naturalism and structure. Two 1920s farmhouses establish an old-fashioned ambience. They sit on a cliff over a marsh and glade and enjoy long vistas of distant ridges. Gravel pathways connect horticulturally diverse areas. Native plants from the owner’s nursery are featured. Garden and naturalistic areas blend. Dramatic, large-leaved, and floriferous perennials accent an allée of Taxodium, groupings of Acer triflorum, Betula nigra and Parrotia, as well as a hedge of Miscanthus giganteus. A map and plant list are provided.
Saturday, August 2, 2008, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
