I love gardens and old houses! 🌸

Throwback to when I went to the most beautiful garden in my entire life here in New York! It’s called Old Westbury Gardens in Long Island. The garden itself was beautiful, but the house that’s behind me was amazing! I love exploring old houses and seeing how people used to live back in the day. I should’ve taken more pictures inside the house, but I really was just taking it all in and it’s better to have the memories with me in my brain❣️

Old Westbury Gardens is not just a garden; it's a place where history meets beauty. Located on Long Island, this historic estate features stunning botanical collections and an opulent mansion that reflects the lifestyle of the past. Visitors can explore the diverse gardens, including formal, woodland, and rose gardens, each offering a unique visual experience. The mansion itself, a remarkable piece of architecture, enriches the visit with its rich history and guided tours showcasing the old-world charm of early 20th-century life. Furthermore, special events and seasonal displays make Old Westbury Gardens a must-visit destination throughout the year. Whether you're a nature lover, history buff, or just looking for a serene escape, this garden offers a perfect blend of beauty and cultural richness.
