The Pocantico Center
Tickets $30
The gardens around Pocantico—from Kykuit’s traditional rose garden to the shrub-lined banks of the Japanese brook garden—have been carefully cultivated for decades. As summer gives way to cooler temperatures, horticulturalist Clare Levy Strom will guide you on a stroll through the estate’s varying landscapes to learn about the history of its gardens and experience its unparalleled beauty.
Clare Levy Strom is the headgardener for Kykuit, where she has worked for nearly 20 years. She received her bachelor of arts in Horticultural Therapy from Western Washington University.
