- Dumbarton Oaks Gardens is located in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC. The gardens recently re-opened after being closed as a precaution during the COVID-19 pandemic. This 22 minute video explores the sixteen acres of terraced gardens and vistas, orchards and kitchen gardens. The Gardens, designed by renowned landscape gardener Beatrix Farrand, is an oasis within the city.
Thank you for showcasing beautiful Dumbarton Oaks. I will make it a point to visit before the year is up. Ashamed to say I have been in the area for 20 years and haven't visited.
Thanks for your comment. The Gardens are a special place with a very rich history. They are not visited as often as they should.
Another nice video. Whod have thunk that something so majestic and peaceful could be tucked away in dc
These gardens might be overlooked for a couple of reasons. First, there is an adminsion and D.C. residents are use to free Smithsonian gardens/Museum. Second, the gardens are only open from 3-5 pm about five days a week. A lot of the background I provided in the video voice over is not displayed in the garden itself.
I really enjoy all your videos, it's easy to see how much care goes into making them. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
Thank you for your comment. It is very much appreciated. I learn from every video that I make and challenge myself to tell a coherent story both visually and with the voice over. Yes, it take does take care to complete a video.
I’ve been waiting for this video! Good job!
Thank you for your comment. It took awhile to put this video together and required another visit to the gardens with a different camera. Hopefully, this video tells an important story that can be shared.
Awesome video just visited and wow it was beautiful
Hi Coaster Crawl, Thanks for your comment. It took a few trips to the gardens to gather the information, take the videos, and do the reseach. The gardens are a little overwhelming and I hoped this video helped provide some context.
Dumbarton is a town in Scotland
Nice video!
Hi Matt, Thanks for comment. This one took me awhile, because there is so many places in the garden and the history is rich.
I have a question is the park itself free and the gardens and museums cost money ? I was looking to take my partner on a picnic there and wanted to know
Hi, The gardens are not free. If I remember, there is timed entry. Parts of the museum are free. Check the website for more information.
Why not use Stravinsky’s “Dumbarton Oaks” music. Would be a lot better!
