Relax & Wander Colorful Parterre Garden & Gothic Revival Summer Home in Woodstock CT
Enjoy our relaxing tour of Roseland Cottage in Woodstock CT, built in 1846 in the Gothic Revival style as the summer home of Henry Chandler Bowen and family. The entire complex, with a boxwood parterre garden, an ice house, garden house, carriage barn, and the nation's oldest surviving indoor bowling alley, reflects the principles of writer and designer Andrew Jackson Downing, whose philosophy combined practicality and the picturesque.
Situated on Woodstock Hill Common, Rosewood contains original Gothic furniture and embossed Lincrusta Walton wall decoration. The house is known locally as the Pink House because of its coral pink exterior. Roseland's parterre garden contains twenty-one flowerbeds with more than 4,000 annuals bordered in boxwood, in their original 1850 pattern, and now form part of @ConnecticutHistoricGardens.
Also known as Henry C. Bowen House or Bowen Cottage, Roseland was added to the @nationalregisternps in 1977, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1992. It is described as one of the best-preserved and best-documented Gothic summer houses in the nation, with virtually intact interior decorations. @CT_history
Roseland Cottage is owned by @HistoricNewEngland, a non-profit organization that preserves the historical value of the house and operates it as a museum. Visit their website to plan your visit!

    With the title "The Finest Garden in Britain" I expected discussion about the garden, but instead heard endless historical data and not a word about any garden plants. Too bad!

    Very disappointing that you lifted this video from another gardener in my area. Visuals and sound quality are poor because this was not your original work.

    • @Magicplaces1
      @Magicplaces1 Před 23 dny

      My dear @susangremban6731 I can assure you that you are sadly mistaken and dead wrong. The images and video of the Garden House in this film were taken by me personally during a 2.5 hour tour given to me Fortescue Garden Trust ambassador Sue Allen. May you go in peace and think twice before making false accusations on CZcams videos

    Wow... first time viewer. This farm is truly magical with all the greens and stone paths and garden art. The beautiful sun dappled on the meandering walkways. But I really loved the detailed story you included. It really added so much to know the history. I hope others take the time to read that. Thanks so much.

      So glad you enjoyed the video of Kentford Farm Liane! I, too, am a lover of history and the stories behind places! I think it adds meaning and context for the appreciation of the beauty and character of a place. I decided to include the history in the descriptive text so as to not distract from the visual.
