March 20th marked the spring equinox and the start of the next beautiful season in the Hudson Valley. One way to banish the winter blues once and for all is by booking a trip to some hot spots for springtime flower peeping. There is a myriad of spring flowers that bloom around the area during this cheery season. If you are looking for a reason to come see us this spring, we think some special gardens and blooming flowers is a great reason!
In nearby Cold Spring, NY you can find a stunning 15-acre property called Stonecrop Gardens.

The picturesque property boasts a diverse collection of gardens and plants, water gardens, cliff rock gardens, and an enclosed English-style flower garden.
