The long covered porch at the north end of the Manor House directly connects from the main floor hallway of the home to the breathtaking Birch Tree Allée, a 550-foot long "alleyway" of trees consisting of more than 100 gray birches growing from the original root stock. Over time, the birch trees have naturally formed a corridor in which a contrast ...
Awash with color and filled with the sweet fragrance from its many blooms, the Breakfast Room Garden has been restored to its original design. The blue, white, and gold color scheme present in the Breakfast Room is echoed in the plantings outside in this garden.
Throughout the year, The Dell—a wild, naturalistic woodland garden seems like a sanctuary. Drifts of daffodils in spring, and the ephemeral wildflowers bloom briefly in early summer. Dazzling foliage of crimson and gold oaks and maples adorn the Dell in autumn. The garden’s special features include a stone underpass that allows visitors to walk fro...
The walled English Garden has often been described as Gertrude Seiberling’s favorite garden refuge. Although Warren Manning created the first design for the English Garden, it didn’t match Mrs. Seiberling’s original vision for the space. Manning later recommended that the Seiberlings hire renowned female landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman to ...
Extending east from the Birch Tree Allée toward the Corbin Conservatory, the Grape Arbor was a favorite place for the Seiberling grandchildren to play. Throughout the summer and early fall, the Grape Arbor features shrub roses and dangling Concord, Niagara, and Delaware grape clusters which serve as reminders of a time when the Great Garden was uti...
The Great Garden originally consisted of the Rose Garden, Grape Arbor, and 15 rectangular beds used for vegetables. Today, the restored Great Garden not only features three pedestrian allées, flowerbeds, and the rose garden, but modern irrigation as well. The pedestrian allées leading from the service court to the Grape Arbor, contain apple trees a...
Reminiscent of lawns created for traditional Tudor English country homes, the Great Meadow was originally called the living lawn and serves as a seemingly vast and uninterrupted open space. Upon entering the estate through the Front Gate, guests approach the Manor House along the gently curving drive that makes its way through an apple orchard. Whe...
In collaboration with Japanese landscape architect T.R. Otsuka, Warren Manning designed the Japanese Garden in 1916. Its pervasive mood is tranquility, or “yugen.” Early photographs of the garden reveal that the original design consisted of gently curving earth crisscrossed by waterways and decorated with small evergreens, ornamental maples, shrubs...
The name “Stan Hywet,” or “stone quarry” in Old English, was named for a prominent feature of the Estate—a sandstone quarry that is now the site of the Lagoon. The old quarry — thought by Warren Manning to be the feature that would give the Estate its greatest distinction, was a canvas for his dramatic and naturalistic garden design. The largest of...
The West Terrace is quite possibly the quintessential example of landscape architect Warren Manning’s ability to blend both house and landscape. It is also a fine example of the ideal English garden arrangement. The broad terrace near the house joins open lawn and then finally stretches to the trees and a beautiful view of the Cuyahoga Valley in th...
