Liberty Hall Historic Site and Gardens is located in Frankfort, Kentucky. The gardens cover nearly three acres and are on the grounds of a Federalist-style mansion. (There are a lot of these types of mansions in Kentucky!)
It features the largest formal boxwood garden in Kentucky. It also has many beautiful perennial and annual borders, and a large variety of roses.
The gardens are free and open to the public from dawn to dusk. Tour prices to view the house are $4.00 for adults and $1.00 for children.
One thing before I go: I went to Book 'Em North Carolina and met Diane Wolfe, my publisher at Dancing Lemur Press. It was great to meet her. She works very hard! If you're one of her authors, know that she is doing a lot to promote your book!
Note to self - visit after March 15.
ReplyDeleteCool you met Diane!
Yes, it was great meeting her!
DeleteThank you, Sherry! Right now I'm at a writing conference both to teach and learn so I can promote even better.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Hope you pick up some good tips.
DeleteHi Sherry - I presume it's open now ... it is - but I love the idea of Adopting a Book to save the John Brown Library ... I need to look more - and their website entices me to visit.
ReplyDeleteExcellent see you and Diane together ... congratulations - cheers Hilary
I didn't know about adopting a book to save the John Brown Library. I'll have to check that out.
DeleteI need to visit Kentucky -you've listed a lot of lovely homes from that state. And how nice to meet your publisher. That just adds to a relationship, and you've been doing great!
ReplyDeleteKentucky is a pretty state with some interesting places to visit.
DeleteSo Kentucky: lush and green :)
ReplyDeleteIt is. And horse farms are everywhere!
DeleteThat sure looks like a beautiful place, and I must say, it sure must have been a great time being able to meet your publisher!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am very glad to have met her.
DeleteBoxwoods aren't easy to grow. I've tried and not been successful. I guess once they get established it's a matter of trimming them, but getting them to that point was my problem. You said the house was going to reopen in March of 2013, did you mean 2023? Are they doing repairs?

Good catch! Actually, this is a reposted blog post, so at the time of the original posting, it was still closed. It's open now.
DeleteIt makes me smile to see you (two of my favorite blog ladies) together. So glad you met.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Sherry.
I was pleased to see that the house will reopen in 2013 Sherry!

LOL. Yes, it's already open. I didn't catch that. This a reposted post. I haven't had time to visit any new gardens lately, so I'm recycling posts.
DeleteI do exactly that when I'm busy!
DeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeletePopping round as I making rounds to say hi.
