The manicured yet inviting Japanese-style garden at Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens, once the home of Marjorie Merriweather Post.
Hillwood's gardens were designed for cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and located at one of her former homes. Wooded paths connect the gardens and encircle the sweep of lawn on the mansion's south side.
