Special landscape tour planned at Grey Towers

MILFORD, PA — Grey Towers Horticulturist Elizabeth Hawke will provide an inside look at the “Evolution of the Grey Towers Landscape” at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 13. There will be a special focus on how some of the landscape plants, trees and buildings were incorporated into the design of the 1886 French Chateauesque mansion estate.

Features seen will include an outdoor dining table made of water, a meeting room that used to be a child’s playhouse, towering copper beeches and the seasonal splendor of fall foliage. The landscape tour differs from regular public tours because the entire program is focused on the exterior grounds of the estate. Group size is limited, and pre-registration is suggested. Regular tour fees apply. Participants should meet in the Visitor Pavilion in the parking lot to begin the walking tour through the grounds.
