    This was my first time at Blithewold. It was a misty rainy day but we still had a great time. I…read morecame to see their gardens which had an abundance of daffodils now. It did not disappoint and they had the most diverse amount of different varieties of daffodils I had ever seen which was amazing. We walked the lovely grounds and were happy the outdoor sculptures were still here. Then we went into the house. They have a wonderful audio tour you get with your phone which we enjoyed. I loved how the majority of the furniture in the house is original. They have plenty of parking a cute gift shop. It was just a great day. I do want to come back to have tea here. So glad I finally visited.

Since it had been ages since last visiting, I only had a faint recollection of the estate having incredibly beautiful gardens. Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum was established by Augustus and Bessie Van Wickle in the 1890s as their summer estate. Mr. Van Wickle made his fortune in the coal mining industry. The estate overlooks beautiful Narragansett Bay. Due to our schedule, our main focus was to just visit the special bamboo bird exhibit and gardens. We went to the admission desk. Luckily, since my friend was a Met member, we got in free. We casually mentioned, we were here to see the special bird exhibit. The staff was very friendly, but didn't make any mention of the bird exhibit. As we walked through the gardens, we saw so many beautiful flowers and lush trees. In one section, there's a large growth of stunning bamboo. As mentioned earlier, the estate had a special exhibit of six bamboo birds ranging from 15 to 30 feet in height. August 11th is the exhibit's last day. All the birds were absolutely striking in appearance. It's incredible, how these birds can be designed from bamboo. Taking one star off for the following: It was quite tiring walking the extensive grounds, due to the heat. In fact, it was difficult to make it close enough to see the sixth bird (Owl). Wish the visitor's section would've offered some type of mini tram to take you through the gardens. Even at an extra cost, it would've been worth it, due to the length of the gardens. However, Blithewold is definite must see when visiting Rhode Island.

While they do have a small parking area behind the house, the festival is packed and you will likely be parking on the street. The house is open this year to take a peak inside, items for sale along with sweet treats (cookies, hot cider and hot chocolate) to enjoy as you walk the gardens. Fire pits are also lit for a nice spot to warm up as you chat with friends in the garden area. Great was to celebrate some tree works of art within the gardens this holiday season!

I stumbled upon this hidden treasure on Yelp, and I was very impressed. It can be easy to miss the entrance (speaking from experience), so slow down as you approach the address. The parking lot is behind a house so it's a bit small and fits only about 5 cars but when we got there, it was just us. There is a table with information, a donation box, and a sign in sheet - entrance is free but donations are encouraged. From there, it's a very casual experience, where you can just roam around the garden at your own pace and direction. I was a bit overwhelmed at first because there so many ways to go and I did not want to miss anything, but I realized a lot of paths connect and in about an hour we got through it all. My favorite part was the arch, where you can host events at (i.e. weddings), but I also liked trying to find the gnomes they have all around and looking at the different flowers and bushes. On the right hand side, they also have some plants for sale. This garden also has a porter potty which I know some guests must appreciate. There is also a link to the history of the garden, and it was really interesting to read about it and imagine how this place came to be, one step at a time. I would highly encourage anyone who appreciates nature to check this place out!

The botanical gardens are much more spacious than I remember there are 4 different greenhouses with a wide variety of tropical plants, trees, a kid's play space, and an herb and vegetable garden. They even have a mini koi pond with some huge koi. Everything was decorated for the holidays with multiple christmas trees, several different train sets and poinsettias everywhere. One of the train sets has a model city that is supposed to look like Providence. I love model trains so this was fun to see. I do wish they had made the settings a little bit more detailed and realistic. Overall a very cool place and a nice retreat from the coldness of winter. It's very warm and humid in there so it really does feel like you're somewhere tropical. They have some truly gigantic monsteras, jade trees and elephant ear plants. Definitely inspiring for my home plant collection! I had no idea how huge some of these plants could get under the right conditions. I do wish there were more labels on the plants - we found some interesting trees (a fruit tree that was maybe papaya) but there was no sign to indicate what it was. Check it out - a fun, family friendly spot to go on a winter weekend. And don't forget to visit the goats on the way in!
