Gardening has been a cornerstone of Mohonk since the land was purchased in 1869. Since then, Mohonk has maintained and added to its award-winning gardens, which reflect French and Italian influences, but focus mainly on mid-19th century picturesque landscaping.

Founder Albert K. Smiley's original design has been maintained as the gardens have matured and evolved. They offer glimpses of the past, allowing guests to enjoy large masses of flowering annuals, perennials, and tropical plants, set against magnificent vistas and views. The Mohonk Greenhouse is home to outstanding collections of orchids, begonias, and fuchsias.You will find beautiful gardens throughout the Mountain House grounds, including ornamental grasses, herb collections, peonies, rock gardens, container gardens, and a butterfly garden.

Throughout the year, guests enjoy regularly scheduled garden walks and lectures. Additionally, several self-guided, educational garden and nature trails exist; pertinent booklets are available in Mohonk's Gift Shop, and Greenhouse Garden Shop.

Mohonk offers a theme program especially for gardeners: Garden Holiday (August 26 – August 31 ) celebrates the final peak of our gardens at summer's end. Enjoy workshops and lectures as you learn from garden experts.

Join us for one night or stay for the entire week, as you meet other gardeners, novice and notable, who share this special interest.
