10 Most Fascinating Lawns And Landscapes In The USA

  1. The White House - This most famous lawn in America is maintained under the care of the U.S. National Park Service. The South lawn is where the famous annual Easter egg roll is held and it is the same place where the vegetable garden of First Lady Michelle Obama was installed.
  2. Oak Alley Plantation - This national historic landmark in Vacherie, Louisiana is beautifully manicured with grass that grows the 300 years old oaks.
  3. Central Park Sheep Meadow - This is one of the favourite lounging spots in New York City these days. Lawns here are closed in the winter to preserve the turfs that are dormant in the season.
  4. Manchester Farm - Kentucky bluegrass grows happily here in the horse country.
  5. Longwood Gardens Cow Lot - This is an area in one of the premier public garden in America. Healthy lawns here are treated every year with a growth regulator to reduce the need for mowing.
  6. Central Park Great Lawn - This lush 55-acre expanse was opened in 1937. Excessive traffic however beat the poor grass here entirely to death. After proper lawn care, it was restored in 1997.
  7. Filoli Sunken Garden - This site is in Woodside, California. For visual interest alongside the reflecting pool, the annuals and perennials are frequently changed in the Sunken Garden.
  8. Filoli Lawn - This is a historic garden south of San Francisco. It boasts a sumptuous green lawn in homage to British gardening style.
  9. Chanticleer Croquet Garden - Located near Philadelphia, this is a fascinating botanical installation.
  10. Middleton Place - This is one of America’s earliest gardens. This historic garden in South Carolina still has a set of formal turf terraces put in place in 1741.
