Scherer Garden

Scherer Garden

Pawling, NY
Woodland/shade garden, Meadow, Scenic view

Garden owners' description: More than 30 years ago, we moved a 200-year-old house and barn to our scrubby, rocky site on Quaker Hill. In collaboration with Robin Zitter, we have created the garden we dreamed of: a naturalistic, traditional cottage garden. Woodland paths are filled with rhododendrons, ferns, and spring-blooming bulbs. In the garden close to the house the beds are now deeper and filled with shrubs, sedges, grasses, and perennials. The pool area is a hidden, rocky gem filled with color. A knot/herb garden in the back is a focal point and enhances the western views. Our garden is featured in Jane Garmey and John M. Hall’s book, Private Gardens of the Hudson Valley.

Please note: At the hosts' request, all unvaccinated guests must wear masks.
