There is also a woodland walk, a small meadow, a lap pool with a rose pergola, and a vegetable/cutting garden with a Greek Revival-style chicken house, as described in Page Dickey’s books Embroidered Groundand Duck Hill Journal. Come see the woodland walk in flower as well as many fragrant shrubs and crabapples.
