With the White Mountains in our backyard, there’s certainly no shortage of ways to get outside and enjoy the nature of New Hampshire. But, if we’re being completely honest, we’re not always looking to go on a full-blown hike. Some days you just want to meander down a path and take things as they come. Wearing sensible shoes! This beautiful garden offers a relaxing way to get outside without having to lace up some serious hiking boots.

Tarbin Gardens in Franklin offers a beautiful respite from the every day.

The 33-acre property has been owned by the same English family since 1973. It was opened up for visitors in 2003 and has been a secret garden retreat ever since.

The walkway through the property leads to a number of different gardens and each features a mix of both native and exotic plants and flowers. This is a great place to visit if you love the nature of New Hampshire, but also want to feel like you've gone away for a day.
