Special delivery! It’s here! The Shipman Terrace is now complete with installation of the custom curved teak bench for the new elliptical stone patio located west of the Lily Pond. In honor of Tregaron’s 15-year anniversary, generous volunteers and donors made this wonderful addition possible. This “outdoor room” is based on historical plans and photos of Ellen Biddle Shipman’s woodland garden designed in the early 20th Century. With views of the pond and surrounding gardens, the Shipman Terrace offers a place to gather with friends and family, or simply a quiet place to read or reflect. Enjoy! (Original bench photo by Shipman Office, 1920’s. Cornell Archives.) #lovetregaron #history #dchistory #woodlandgarden #urbangarden #dc #bench @countrycasualteak Photos by @jpackardphoto

Join us with your binoculars on Saturday mornings at 8:00 a.m. to learn and discover many species of feathered friends in Tregaron. Register under “Events” with link in bio.

Opera and nature is a great combination! Yesterday, Opera Lafayette (a DC and NYC-based opera company) brought our meadow to life in a special way.

It was a beautiful day for Tregaron’s annual Easter egg hunt! Kids did a great job locating hundreds of eggs hidden in the Conservancy. The event always brings out the child in all of us. BIG thanks to our wonderful volunteers for their help in this endeavor. Happy holidays!
