Rhode Island’s Topiary Garden, Green Animals Topiary Gardens, Is A Work Of Art
Rhode Island is such a unique state, you really can’t help but love it. While we don’t have the magnificent mountain peaks or enormous waterfalls you’ll find in some other states on the East Coast, we do have some bragging rights no other place could dream of. Our one-of-a-kind topiary garden is a prime example. This place adds a touch of magic and whimsy to any ordinary day, and it’s truly a work of art.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

This is the oldest and most northern topiary garden in the United States.

Back then, it consisted of seven acres of land, a cozy summer residence, farm outbuildings, a pasture, and a spacious vegetable garden.

Carreiro was an immigrant from the Azores who loved to experiment and create beautiful art.

This gorgeous garden, which is open during warmer months only for obvious reasons, makes a beautiful day trip destination.

These include birds, animals, geometric figures and designs. They're all sculpted from California privet, yew, and English boxwood.

Bring a lunch to enjoy at the picnic tables and make a day trip of it.

If you've never been, set aside a spring or summer day to enjoy it. Bring the family, but please leave pets at home.
Add a trip (or two) to the Green Animals Topiary Gardens to your to-do list this year. It’s worth it.
