Very well maintained mid century modern garden, managed to make all the human manipulation and intervention look natural and effortless, as if Nature left it that way, must be the hardest job. Love the Adirondack chairs and benches dotted the property, always at the exact right view spot and same time creating a view themselves.

We absolutely loved wandering around Innisfree Gardens. Wish we had more time because one hour is simply not enough. Especially not if you also want to do the hike around the lake, …

Amazing place, Beautiful landscaping and awesome place to take some pictures of family or the landscape. The area is very well taken care of and beautifully crafted. some of the walking areas could be better maintained.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How is parking in Innisfree gardens?

Jo C. | May 6, 2021
Innisfree Garden (Owner) | May 7, 2021

Thank you for your interest in visiting Innisfree. Parking is included in garden admission.

Do anyone know if the entrance is free for is there a fee?

Daniel Perez | May 6, 2021
Kate Kerin | May 7, 2021

Admission is $10; $5 for seniors (65+) and kids (ages 5-15); free for Innisfree members and young kids (ages 4 and under). Innisfree will be open to the public the first two weekends in May and then, starting May 12, open Wednesdays-Sundays plus legal holidays. Advance reservations for timed admission are required.

What is the name / type of the trees that resemble cedar, have evergreen lacy flat needles, and their roots surface around their base that look like gnomes? They are growing just outside of the bog Garden.

Joanna Porreca2018 | Jan 1, 2021
Innisfree Garden (Owner) | Jan 2, 2021

There are several that might meet your decription but I think you are asking about a cypress, by the massive rock face? The roots form what are called knees, so that they can get air where the soil itself is saturated, and provide more structural support for a tall tree growing in mud. I think the fall colors on our other deciduous conifers, dawn redwoods and larches, make them well worth considering. They are bright copper and golden yellow respectively. Thanks for your interest!

Is the garden open after Labor Day?

Mary Cardi | Jan 1, 2021
Innisfree Garden (Owner) | Jan 2, 2021

Thank you for being interested in a fall visit to Innisfree. Unless infection rates jump in New York, we anticipate being open through November 1st this year. So that we can more easily adjust the number of visitors in the garden if need be, we release tickets in two week increments, about two weeks in advance. The next batch of tickets are slated to go on sale today or tomorrow. I hope that helps!

Is the garden open on Memorial Day?

Yes!

I’d like to visit when the spring bushes and trees are in flower. When do you estimate the peak?

Marilyn Parker | Jan 2, 2020
Innisfree Garden (Owner) | Jan 3, 2020

Innisfree is now open Wednesdays through Sundays plus holidays from 10am to 5pm into early November. Admission is $10 per person, $5 for seniors (65+) and children (ages 4 through 12). Enjoy your visit! Thanks so much for your interest in Innisfree! The momentum builds from now on. This Saturday, visitors will see heirloom daffodils. For spring highlights, I think mid-May through mid/possibly late June is best, with native columbine and Japanese primroses followed by irises, peonies, and foxgloves. There is always something blooming, but this garden doesn’t rely heavily on flowers. With sculptural forms, terrific water features, and myriad shades of green (or fall foliage) there is something special to see every day.
