Innisfree Garden
located in Millbrook, New York
This is a wonderful 150 acre Chinese landscape-style inspired garden built in the basin that partially surrounds Tyrrel Lake, located near Millbrook. It's not actually a strictly traditional Eastern style, but more of a melding of Asian landscaping concepts with American ones in a natural garden setting.
There are numerous water features like streams and waterfalls that have been blended with mostly native plants and flowers, along with manmade features like berms, sculptured terraces, walls and stones brought in from the local forest. The water features get their flow from a hillside reservoir that is fed by pumps with water from Tyrrel Lake. This garden was originally a private estate owned by Walter and Marion Beck that was later opened to the public in 1960.
