Lee Garden, formerly known as.
General:
Located on six and a half acres, Bedrock Garden was established in 1981. The garden is comprised on several levels that complement a 200 year old farmhouse and red barn on the curve of a dirt road. The Beaver Dam River can be viewed below the perennial garden that is enclosed by old stone walls. A winding path leads to a naturalistic pool which is guarded by a giant pair of decorative stone boars and framed by a rock garden.
The garden was designed by the owner with the historic 1804 house in mind. The cobblestone driveway was made from stones brought from the old Pennsylvania Railroad yards in New York City. It has a border of wildflowers and spring ephemerals on each side and a view of the river below. A natural-looking swimming pool was installed in a field along with a vegetable garden. A rock garden was also installed behind the pool and a collection of rare trees planted behind the pool and garden.
The garden includes many pieces of garden statuary and ornamentation. Major plantings include spring wildflowers such as bloodroot, trillium, dogtoothed violets, and Mertensia. The rock garden includes many rare dwarf varieties including a 13-year old 16 inch high gingko. Tree plantings include Copper Beach, the Ohio Buckeye, the Liriodendron Tulipfera, the Liquidambar "Slender Shadow" and the Davidia.
The garden is used for parties, children's birthday parties, visits and workshops by the Bedford Garden Club and many Open Days for the Garden Conservancy. The owners are involved in many garden organizations. Innisfree, in Nantucket, is also documented in the Archives of American Gardens (AAG# MA386).
