Upper Garden: In his upper garden, George Washington created a formal pleasure garden, with beds of flowers and vegetables separated by brick-lined walks. The small octagonal garden house stands in the northwest corner of the upper garden.

I love, love, love beautifully tended gardens...Let me share a poem I have read which kind of sums up what a garden is..

"There is peace within a garden 

A peace so deep and calm 

That when the heart is troubled 

It's like a soothing balm

There's life within a garden 

A life that still goes on 

Filling empty places 

When older plants have gone

There's glory in the garden 

At every time of year 

Spring summer autumn winter 

To fill the heart with cheer

So ever tend your garden 

Its beauty to increase 

So in it you'll find solace 

And in it you'll find peace."
