Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion
Formal Garden · Canandaigua, New York
A 50-acre Gilded Age estate at Canandaigua in the FINGER LAKES — an 1887 Queen Anne mansion surrounded by ⚠ NINE DISTINCT FORMAL GARDENS laid out at the turn of the century, including a Japanese garden, an Italian garden, a rose garden and a sunken Roman bath. ⚠ IT IS A NEW YORK STATE HISTORIC PARK RUN BY A NON-PROFIT, which is an unusual arrangement.
151 Charlotte Street, Canandaigua, New York, 14424, United States
⚠ SEASONAL — roughly MAY TO OCTOBER, and a formal garden estate out of season is nothing. ⚠ GO IN JUNE IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN: the rose garden and the general planting peak then, and the difference between June and September here is the difference between a great garden and a pleasant one. ⚠ ASK AT THE DESK WHICH OF THE NINE GARDENS ARE CURRENTLY AT THEIR BEST — the estate went through decades of neglect, restoration is ongoing, and it varies year to year. ⚠ THE LORD AND BURNHAM GREENHOUSES ARE THE ONLY WET-WEATHER FALLBACK. ⚠ CONFIRM WHETHER AN EMPIRE PASS APPLIES — it is a New York State historic park operated by a non-profit and the arrangement is unusual. Free parking. ⚠ HOURS AND PRICES NOT VERIFIED.
