Upper Garden Comes Up
Mount Vernon’s upper garden (you know the one, it’s to the left as you face the house) has been filled with flowers for years, but visitors who look at it today might think it was just George Washington’s dirt repository. That’s because all flowers and plants have been uprooted to make way for a new garden more accurate to Washington’s original plan than ever before.
Mount Vernon’s horticultural department will be busy at work planting this fall and will unveil the final garden in all its floral greenery in April 2011.
