What they add to your home… which is your favorite? Otto’s Thrill, Cafe au Lait, or Labyrinth? Scoot over to the blog (link in my bio) to see more “joys of my garden”

They both take place at Rosecliff, the luscious, oceanside Gilded Age mansion which just underwent a $7 million renovation… and she is absolutely gleaming from her famous ballroom to her white terracotta facade. Scoot over to the blog (link in bio) to see more images, including the Newport Flower Show which is held there every year!

Sharing my tips today on designing our new Woodland Garden, where the architectural details of our French Normandy house add their own charm to the view.
