Blithewold Mansion honored by Yankee Magazine

BRISTOL – Yankee Magazine selected Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum with a 2016 Editor’s Choice Best of New England Recognition for Best Garden in Rhode Island.
The magazine described the venue as “one of New England’s most intensely planted and lovingly tended landscapes, the 33 acres of gardens, lawns, specimen trees, and rare and unusual plants at this Narragansett Bay estate are equal parts historic treasure and living classroom. True to the early-1900s vision of owner Bessie Ban Wickle McKee and landscape architect John De Wolf, Blithewold’s exotic abundance continually inspires those who wrestle with nature and those who simply relish watching it unfold”
