Ladew Topiary Gardens is located in Monkton. This enchanting spot is like you've stepped into another world.

The hedges are trimmed into whimsical shapes, from a variety of animals...

... to a castle of greenery! If you have a little princess or prince in your life, this is a great spot to run around and play pretend.

The original owner of this property wanted the grounds to reflect his love of fox hunting in the most whimsical of ways...

... and soon, more and more quirky creations decorated the gardens. This pirate ship rests atop a koi pond and it's a must-see spot.

If you love unusual places or simply adore exploring exotic plants, visit Ladew Topiary Gardens at least once.

This spot opens for the season April 1 so mark your calendar. In the meantime, visit the Facebook page to stay up to date with events and enjoy the beautiful photos.
