Landscapes at Harkness cover a wide range of styles, from wild asclepias in a July field to a manicured formal garden.

Through years of fundraising, volunteer effort and cooperation from the State of Connecticut, one of the greenhouses has been rebuilt.

Though the winter visit lacks bright colors, the Harkness landscape offers year-round interest.
