Old Westbury Gardens
Worshippers of formal gardens will be in heaven, and even casual nature lovers will adore the 210 landscaped and blooming acres of the former Phipps estate. Stroll among the wildflower-filled nooks, lilac-laden walkways, wide-open lawns, formal rose gardens, and meticulously maintained ponds -- all in a constantly changing display of seasonal colors. Early spring is particularly beautiful, when the tulips and daffodils are in bloom. Step inside the property's gorgeous, Charles II-style mansion furnished with fine English antiques and decorative arts; it's virtually unchanged from when the Phipps family lived here in the early 20th century.
