Family Garden - The Family Garden is located east of the Grand Hall. Chat paths lead from the Grand Hall to this garden and also serve to connect the Hall to the Mansion’s security building. On either side of the connecting pathways is a large expanse of open lawn, planted with hydrangeas and azaleas. Two urns hold plantings that provide seasonal color. The entire garden is surrounded by holly hedges for year-round greenery and privacy.
Next to this garden, the land slopes up gently to the east colonnade connecting the Mansion to the Governor’s office. The slope features contoured landscaping and a lawn with mass plantings of lovely azaleas and graceful hydrangeas.
