The Terrace Garden

There are all kinds of work going on around the George Eastman Museum!  I showed you the new entrance and visitor center previously.  This is a view of the Terrace Garden, as seen from the room that George Eastman's mother lived in.  There is a passageway from the visitor center that leads to the main house, and it is all glass on one side and features a colonnade on the outside, and that has recently been restored.  In order to do that, they needed to take all the plants out of this garden, and now that that project is finished, they are making improvements to the brick walkways, among other things, and then the old soil will be replaced with new soil and the gardens replanted with their original flowers. 

This view looks in the opposite direction, and you can see the restored colonnade to the right in this photograph.   I have always enjoyed photographing the gardens here, and there are a number of them.  I cannot wait to see what the garden will look like when the restoration is done!
