ENGLISH VICTORIAN GARDENS

The Gingerbread Mansion's gardens are an example of late Victorian gardens, encompassing French formal, English formal, and English informal. Beaded topiary mimics the highly ornate beaded fretwork of the mansion's exterior.

Serrendipitous brick paths meander between tightly trimmed English box woods, leading visitors to secret corners revealing classical statuary, or hedged privets as focal points.

Camellias, rhododendrons, and hydrangeas add spectacular color to a garden that is profuse with annuals and perennials. Early spring brings narcissus, daffodils, crocus, and tulips. Fox gloves, fuschias, fever few, marguerites, and columbine offer continuous enjoyment through spring and summer.

Spectacular fall color abound with Liquid Ambers, Japanese Maples Cosmos and other fall perennials. During the Winter Season the structure of the garden takes center stage,showing off the ornately trimmed topiary hedges, shrubs and occassional early blooming Camellias.
