Open Day June 14, 2008
Lion Garden
219 Lansing Station Road, Lansing
Flowers welcome you from the moment you arrive at this garden. Entrance plantings embrace the street and line the brick driveway, filled with hundreds of blooming perennials. Large beds around the house are filled with perennials, and dozens of planted pots grace the deck on the shady hillside. The gardens continue down a steep wooded hill, where borders of shade-loving perennials, ground covers and shrubs surround a gazebo and folly. Woodland trails lead to a small ravine below the garden.
Directions: From Ithaca take Route 34 north along Cayuga Lake to where the road runs into Route 34B at Rogue's Harbor Inn. Turn left on 34B and go 5.5 miles to Cecil's Tavern on the right. Turn left on Lansing Station Road and go one mile. The grey modern-style house is on the left, and the wooden mailbox reads #219. Please park on left past driveway (be sure to set emergency brake as this is a very steep incline). For handicap access, park in driveway.
Proceeds from this garden will be shared with the Tompkins County Community Beautification Program.
