Overview

The North Garden was formerly referred to as the Sunken Garden, until a stone North Star (rescued from a chimney in the original mansion after the fire) was installed in the garden wall. The family viewed the most formal of the Blithewold gardens––featuring lush, deep borders; ornamental stonework; a fountain; a garden pool; and lawn––as an extension of the mansion. Today it showcases a variety of perennials, annuals, and flowering shrubs. The North Garden is the ideal setting for social functions.
