Planting Fields Arboretum
Arboretum · Oyster Bay, New York
⚠ ONE OF THE FEW GOLD COAST ESTATES THAT SURVIVED INTACT WITH ITS LANDSCAPE — 409 acres at Oyster Bay laid out by the OLMSTED BROTHERS around COE HALL, a 1921 Tudor Revival mansion. ⚠ THE GREENHOUSES HOLD A CAMELLIA COLLECTION THAT FLOWERS IN FEBRUARY, which makes this one of the very few New York gardens with a genuine midwinter reason to visit.

⚠ A NEW YORK STATE PARK VEHICLE FEE APPLIES AT THE GATE, charged per car rather than per person — cheap for a carful, poor value for one, and an Empire Pass should cover it. CONFIRM. ⚠ TWO BEST TIMES, AND THE SECOND IS THE INTERESTING ONE: late April and May for the azaleas and the Olmsted Brothers landscape, and ⚠ FEBRUARY FOR THE CAMELLIA HOUSE, which holds one of the largest camellia collections under glass in the northeast and flowers in the dead of a Long Island winter. ⚠ CONFIRM WHETHER THE GREENHOUSE RANGE IS INCLUDED WITH GROUNDS ENTRY — it is the winter reason to come and it is open year round. ⚠ COE HALL, the 1921 Tudor Revival mansion, IS SEPARATELY TICKETED AND SEASONAL and is generally shut in winter. ⚠ Sagamore Hill, Theodore Roosevelt's home, is five minutes away. ⚠ HOURS AND PRICES NOT VERIFIED.
