Media & More

Description: Cornerstone Gardens is the first gallery-style garden exhibit in the United States. The nine-acre property includes an ever-changing series of exemplary gardens designed by landscape architects and designers alongside select retailers, a market-café, food services and event spaces. Cornerstone Gardens exhibits new and innovative design ideas from more than 20 designers as well as providing inspiration and resources for people interested in gardens and garden design. This unique property creates a cultural and creative respite for the community which represents the true connection between art, architecture and nature.

Inspiration: Cornerstone Gardens is modeled in part after the International Garden Festival at Chaumont-sur-Loire in France’s Loire Valley. Cornerstone Gardens is the first project of its kind in the United States.
