Thanks to Daryl Savage for sharing photos from his trip to the Planting Fields Arboretum, Long Island, NY!
“I went on a garden trip this past June to this old estate that was filled with a centuries’ old collection of trees, a formal garden, a landscaped pool area, greenhouse, and more wild areas to stroll. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the North Shore of Long Island.”

So worth the visit Daryl. Thanks for sharing your photo experience with us.
Wow, what gorgeous, mature specimens. Those plants have stood the test of time. Plus it's cool enough on Long Island for lupines! I am jealous. Thanks, Daryl
Great photos, a nice selection to give a good overview.
Thanks
Those are some magnificent rhododendrons...positive mountains of purple trusses...what a sight. Looks like a public garden very much worth visiting if one is in the vicinity.
What a treat for the eyes, so much color, especially with a foreground of 2 feet of snow outside my window.
Such a beautiful place! So inviting and it makes you want to see what is around the corner! The path with the blue flowers... are they catmint? Thanks for sharing these pictures with us, Daryl!
Very cool, Daryl. Never heard of the place and it looks great. Thanks for sending in the photos. I took a quick look at their web site and the mansion looks as amazing as the gardens.
Who knew? It's now on my garden bucket list to visit when heading north this spring and summer. Thanks, Daryl!
Wow, wow, wow. A gardeners Disneyworld for sure. What Rhodies and that Shasta Viburnum (?) is magnificent. Is that Catmint that lines the walkway in your first picture? Thanks for the most welcome look at the beauty of this garden. Vikki in VA
Thanks for the tour, Daryl! You have to love the carefree look of Nepeta when it's planted in mass and allowed to do it's thing! I really like that plant. And those lupines... don't even get me started!
Yes, they are catmint, and the tree is not a viburnum, but a kousa dogwood. White Flower Farm also has a mature one that is magnificent when in bloom.
I grew up in eastern Long Island and never knew this place was there. What a loss. But thanks for the introduction - it is magnificent.
Magnificent, Indeed !!!! Oh my my my…..the catmint sends me into hyperventilation
How magnificent trees and shrubs are when they get old and huge!
