Entrance Garden - As the welcoming view of the Governor’s Mansion, the front-entry gardens are designed to highlight and showcase the handsome Georgian Colonial home. A formal, circular fountain is the centerpiece of the oval Entrance Garden, framed by boxwood hedging in a Greek-key design with large flower beds on either side for seasonal color. Connecting the north-entry gate to the front door of the Mansion is a brick pathway that runs down the center of this garden and on either side of the fountain.
Of special note is the bronze bust of President Bill Clinton just to the right of the front gate. Surrounded by azaleas and dogwoods, the bust, by local sculptor Jan Woods, honors the former President who, along with his wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea, called the Mansion home for 12 years.
