Occupying an elevated, cool location in the Hudson Highlands, Stonecrop Gardens opened to the public in 1992, after starting off as a private garden. Covering around 15 acres, the gardens are home to an astonishing diversity of plants from around the world. You will find several themed gardens including woodlands, wetlands, alpine and grass gardens, all carefully laid out with the intention of encouraging garden enthusiasts to follow suit. You can also admire an English-style flower garden, an Alpine display house and hundreds of dwarf bulbs in the Pit House. The gardens are open from Monday to Saturday (and select Sundays) from April through October.
