Woodland Farms

The gardens at Woodland Farms have been evolving for twenty years around an oak-and-stone dwelling built to suggest a medieval Anglo-Norman house mysteriously come to rest on 300 acres in Vermont. The "ruins" of ancient Celtic structures (created by dry stonewaller Dan Snow) and substantial terraces, steps, and pathways (built by Scott Bolotin) provide the bones for a hands-on, owner-designed, richly varied landscape. Distinct garden areas include shrubs, perennials and grasses, dwarf conifers, meadows, and uncommon trees. Featured are perennials that last spring through fall, attracting pollinators and birds. Chickens are kept, and there is an extensive drystone-walled organic vegetable garden. Stone-and-timber outbuildings, large expanses of grassland, hayfields, berry bushes, a northern-kiwi arbor, and a mixed-fruit orchard complete the design of this small manor farm. Woodland Farms has been featured in Gardens Illustrated and Martha Stewart Living magazines.

This garden's estimated size is 20 acres.
