The only book of its kind, this annual directory provides a state-by-state guide to hundreds of rarely seen private gardens whose lush plantings, tranquil resting spaces, and stunning vistas are open-on specific days-to the public. The 2000 edition features over 400 exceptional gardens and provides area maps of each highlighted region, a brief description of each garden, dates and times when the garden admits visitors, and detailed driving instructions.
Since 1995, when The Garden Conservancy launched its popular Open Days Program, modeled on similar successful programs abroad, The Open Days Directory has become a treasured resource-the one indispensable national garden-visiting guide for garden enthusiasts and tourists planning a day trip or weekend getaway.
