One of the highlights of the Glensheen estate is its breathtaking gardens. Designed by renowned landscape architect Charles Leavitt, Jr., the gardens are a vibrant tapestry of colors and textures. Stroll through the Formal Garden, where meticulously manicured flower beds and hedges create a serene and picturesque setting. Wander through the Vegetable Garden, where heirloom vegetables and herbs are cultivated just as they were in the early 1900s.
