PowellsWood is a place to go to see the hedges. As funny as that sounds, I was quite intrigued by the beautiful meld of fern and rhododendron borders adjacent to conifer forest.
Unlike most of the garden destinations on this list, PowellsWood is a private garden requiring paid admission or membership ($30 for an individual membership; $45 for a family membership). It’s a lovely garden featuring various scenes and landscapes to explore in all seasons.
The garden is open to the public Tuesday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Adult admission is $7; kids ages 12 and younger enter free.
