A Brief History

Begun in 1979 by George Schoellkopf, the garden has evolved into a unique synthesis of the formal and the natural, with walls and hedges melting seamlessly into the lush surrounding landscape which forms a magnificent backdrop for the exuberant plantings. Since opening its grounds to the public in 2006, Hollister House Garden has become a non-profit organization and a Preservation Partner of The Garden Conservancy.
