A Beautiful Garden Transformation is Underway!
As we continue to grow and enhance the visitor experience at Planting Fields, please note that the south side of the Rose Arbor facing the Main Greenhouse and intersecting the Oudolf Garden will be under construction now through October as part of an exciting new garden project.
During this time, visitors may notice chain-link fencing and an active construction area along that side of the arbor. For photographers and guests planning special occasion photos, we kindly recommend using the north-facing side of the Rose Arbor closest to the Main House, which continues to offer a beautiful backdrop for photography.

We appreciate your understanding as we work to bring this exciting new garden vision to life. Learn more about the Oudolf Garden and how you can play a role in its bloom here.

OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHY 
For wedding photography and general outdoor photography (engagement photos, family photos, etc.), you must obtain a permit from the New York State Parks office. Please note that the permit from New York State Parks does not include photography inside the Main House.
