- A significant Wharton-era garden
ornament reconstructed: The latticework niche
that graced Edith Wharton’s flower garden a century
ago has been reconstructed with exacting care. The
niche, built from old-growth cypress, will again provide
the vital focal point designed to anchor the formal
gardens at The Mount. Visit the gardens in May 2006
to view the exquisite and newly-installed decorative
structure.
- In June 2005, Edith Wharton’s Flower
Garden was planted with nearly 3,000 annuals and perennials,
placing the finishing touches on the crown jewel of a
four-year, more than $3 million restoration. Celebrate
the revival of the colorful perennial garden that Edith
Wharton lovingly called her “mass of bloom.”
- Selected Shorts returns
