| Cornell Plantations has gardens and an arboretum. I haven't been there, but in my experience large universities with ag departments often have really nice gardens. |

| One of my favorite gardens in America is Sonnenberg Gardens in Canandaigua in the Finger Lakes district of upstate New York. It was originally a private estate owned by a woman who started the gardens after her husband died in the early 20c. The property includes various gardens of many types--Colonial Revival, Japanese, Victorian bedding out, roses etc etc. This is worth a whole day. The house was open as well when we went. Sonnenberg Gardens is not to be missed--and such a beautiful part of a beautiful country. |
