Aspects of the design can be translated into many home gardens ... the balance, repetition, structure, and flow. The stonework in the hidden garden is spectacular. It reminds me of Roman ruins.

These gardens are definitely worth the visit ... a little touch of European formality in New England. Jean, i suspected you would be a Wharton fan. You will really enjoy a visit to The Mount.

But there's a part of me that longs for some symmetry and order, so I enjoyed the vicarious stroll through The Mount's gardens. I especially like the hidden garden. It is indeed a peaceful place, and I like the scale of it and the arched windows. My rolling woodlands are not conducive to formal gardens.
