Biltmore Estate Garden

(c) Biltmore Estate.
Frederick Law Olmstead, the renowned landscape designer known for his work in Central Park, was also responsible for designing the Biltmore Estate Gardens.

Plantings at Biltmore Estate include the library terrace, the south terrace overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, an Italian garden with formal pools, a shrub garden, an English-style walled garden (pictured), a rose garden with heritage roses, a conservatory that holds exotic species, a cool house, a hot house, an azalea garden, a bass pond, and a spring garden.

A number of garden trails offer lovely views and provide shelter to various species of birds. Mid-April, daffodils, tulips and other bulbs are likely to be in full bloom. From late May through October roses and other perennials are usually on display.
