A Garden 50 Years in the Making

Richard Murcott has curated one of the most beautiful
rhododendron gardens on Long Island.

The Garden

It helps to get some perspective of the whole garden before considering all of the beautiful plants specifically.

The Rhododendrons

These make up most of the garden and are discovered as you go through wood chipped paths and sometimes through some large Rhodos.

The Chrysanthemums

The Mums always bloomed late in the season and were a great way to end the summer. Learn how Richard tricked them into blooming when he wanted.

The Begonias

Planted in beds near the house that were tilled by an ancient rototiller that still works (kind of).
