Linwood Gardens is a private garden located in Linwood, New York, 35 miles southwest of Rochester in the farmlands of the Genesee Valley. The original garden landscape was designed in the early 1900s, with a summerhouse influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, walled gardens with pools and fountains, ornamental trees, and a view of the valley beyond.
The gardens include a distinguished collection of Japanese and American tree peonies presented to the public each spring at the Tree Peony Festival of Flowers. During the summer months, Linwood Gardens opens to the public as a peaceful garden sanctuary for workshops and Open Garden Days.
Our mission is to preserve the gardens and the tree peony collection for future generations to enjoy.
Linwood Gardens welcomes everyone.
