Hitch Lyman’s Garden: Garden Conservancy Open Days

May 18th, 2007 · 11 Comments

Hitch Lyman's gardenHitch Lyman is a national snowdrop specialist. Of course, the snowdrops are long gone, but doesn’t his garden sound wonderful? From the Garden Conservancy website:

Enjoy this extraordinary collection of 200 lilac varieties as well as species of peonies, daphnes, and crabapples. The 1848 Greek Revival-style farmhouse was moved to this site in 1990 and the garden, pond-side Doric temple, rustic fountain, and odd assembly of trees are slowly reaching out into the surrounding meadow. Architectural building by Glenn Wilder, stonework by Kevin Reilly, and metalwork by Durand Van Doren showcase our area’s talent.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The garden is at 3441 Krums Corners Road in Trumansburg.
