Item Special Note

One of the Last Working Formal Estate Gardens of the Early 20th Century

The formal rose gardens designed in the Colonial Revival style were commissioned during the late 1920s by Massachusetts Governor Alvan T. Fuller at his summer estate. The meticulously maintained formal rose gardens, a Japanese garden and English perennial plantings provide a continuous array of color and interest from spring until fall. Fuller Gardens remains a seaside gem open for the enjoyment of seven thousand annual visitors.

It’s a delightful oasis situated a stone’s throw from the ocean. The gardens feature horticulture at the highest level, with thousands of rose bushes and hundreds of varieties that bloom all season long. Formal English perennial borders, a Japanese Garden and a tropical conservatory are all framed by sculpted hedges.
