"The Old Westbury Gardens in Old Westbury, New York aims to inspire knowledge and appreciation of American country estate architecture, gardens, and landscaping. "

Review: When you live in NYC as I did for 10 years, spending a day among blooms and meadows is a dream come true. You can expect to find expertly landscaped formal gardens, breathtaking architecture and historical collections within the estate, and a variety of educational programs and family-friendly events year-round. I wrote about the gardens as one of the best day trips From NYC.
