Throughout the summer and fall, visitors can enjoy a profusion of flowers in the site's gardens. The formal terraced garden with its period plantings, is set off with gilded casts of ancient sculptures, much like what Saint-Gaudens saw in Europe. The cutting garden offers a wide variety of flowers grown for the elegant floral arrangements found in the galleries.
