Planting Fields was never just a house. And never just a garden.

On this in-depth, two-hour, small-group experience, explore how architecture and landscape were conceived as one unified masterpiece — limited to only 15 guests per tour, making it an intimate and truly special way to experience Planting Fields.

Begin inside the Main House to uncover the artistry, craftsmanship, and social history behind its grand interiors. Then step outside to stroll the Olmsted-designed grounds, where sightlines, plantings, and terrain were carefully orchestrated to extend the home into the natural world.

This is our site as a total work of design — experienced the way its creators intended, and with a closeness that makes each detail feel personal.
