As our guest, we hope you will enjoy each of our garden areas and feel that this is a garden of pleasure and learning…a treasure for you and for nature.
Garden design is considered to be an art in most cultures.
Pleasure Gardens were the amusement parks of Georgian England, during the 18th and 19th centuries. Pleasure Gardens allowed visitors to escape the hustle and bustle of city life while offering them a variety of picturesque gardens, strolling paths, musical concerts, al fresco dining, waterfalls, fountain displays, dancing, and even firework shows.
We consider our ‘‘garden park’’ a Pleasure Garden. Perennial, veggie, shade, bonsai, herb, and daylily gardens as well as ponds, and an alle’e are woven together over our gentle terrain. Each of our garden areas are a study of textures and forms, with broad vistas or intimate settings and color.
Benches, swings, and conversational areas are nestled into the garden, or under arbors, and are designed to allow the visitor a moment to rest and contemplate nature’s wonders. Statuary, sculptured hedges, urns, or finials mark the transitions between each of the garden areas.
It is a garden of pleasure and learning, relaxing yet filled with ideas to take home.
We are listed as a Virginia Treasure, a significant natural and open space land.
Join us for a unique look at Birdsong Pleasure Gardens!
