Fuller Gardens in North Hampton is one of the very last working formal estate gardens of the 20th century.
The gardens have been around since 1927 when businessman and Massachusetts politician, Alvan T. Fuller commissioned landscape architect, Arthur A. Shurtleff, to design the first garden behind his summer home.
The gardens continued to expand over the decades. The Fuller couple didn't go into the gardens much, but loved looking at them from the windows in the house. And they especially loved seeing them being enjoyed by the public who was welcome to visit.
This is definitely one of the areas in the state that we look forward to re-opening all year long. And this year enjoying it will be extra-special!
Fuller Gardens is typically open from mid-May through October every day of the week. Their hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $9 for adults, $8 for seniors, $6 for students and $4 for kids under 12. You can learn more about them on their website or follow them on Facebook.
