A very simple garden that brings back some memories while in Japan.
Luckily they do provide a map but they don't post any trail markers so the map is virtually useless. Trying to figure out what is what is a guessing game.
It's definitely a nice place to walk around and disconnect.

Surprising find on our way up to Vermont. A bit costly at $10 a person for the visit, but it was a beautiful place to walk around for an hour. However the brochure described it as “one of the 10 best gardens in the world,” which seemed a bit far fetched and could not be backed up online with more research. I would recommend it though

I’m making it my mission to get the average Capital District resident to at the very least have heard of this Magical place! 🧚‍♀️ It’s considered to be one of the 5 most beautiful gardens IN THE WORLD! 🌍 And yet not one person I have ever mentioned Inisfree to has ever even heard of it. The photos don’t do it justice. I’ve been there in Early Spring, mid Summer and in the Fall. Each season delivered it’s own beauty with the Native plants, bushes and Trees. Definitely bring a picnic!

Gorgeous garden decorated in an Asian style. Lovely bowers and rockworks throughout. Flocks of geese and an ærie nestled in the tree tops. Lake with lilypads, a footbridge and a refreshing fountain sculpture.

Very nice garden, especially with kids but not stroller friendly. Bring food with you or something to snack because the nearest place is miles away.

Well we have been coming here since I was a kid. We got to see the house back then it was beautiful then. Omg it's still peaceful and beautiful we shared this with Mt aunt and cousin last Thursday we had such a great time the flowers and birds did not disappoint we all loved it. Great place a good walk for sure...glad we went.

It's a big garden to explore. Very peaceful and you feel serenity right away while you are walking around. During our visit, not too many people but still gotta wait for people to leave a certain spot when taking pics on specific angle. It's $10pp for the entrance fee via online, spacious parking spot. You have to drive very deep inside to get to the entrance. At one point I thought I got lost, took my parents with me during my visit. We all loved the place and we brought some food with us to eat there for lunch. There are benches for picnics in certain areas, not all areas you can eat at. Recommended to visit if you are in the area.

9.16.22 We drove 1.5 hours from CT, paid the $10pp entrance fee, and absolutely loved thus tranquil, beautiful area. Without reading much about this place I assumed by garden, it would be a floral garden. That it is not. Instead, all around this beautiful pond, you'll find unique trees, Asian inspired rock, plant gardens. The walk around the pond itself is probably just a mile long. You'll find many benches and spots to sit and relax and enjoy the serenity. It's great for all ages. It's especially great for painters and photographers. Enjoy.
