Innisfree Garden

 

At 5:30pm on June 27th, 2015 Vanessa Gusick will be wed to Mackey Craven at Innisfree Garden, 362 Tyrrel Road, Millbrook, New York 12545.  

 

We are taking full advantage of the environment, and will be holding the ceremony and cocktail hour outside. In addition, there will be a 15 minute walk to and from the ceremony site over natural paths — we strongly encourage you to wear flat sole shoes and dress according to the weather that day. As a result of the walk, please plan to arrive at Innisfree no later 5pm so as not to miss the ceremony. For guests with limited mobility, please contact us for additional information. 

 

Recognized as one of the world’s ten best gardens, Innisfree is a powerful icon of 20th century landscape design. Over 50 years in the making, it is largely the work of landscape architect Lester Collins, FASLA (1914–1993), with important contributions by his client, the artist and teacher Walter Beck. Innisfree merges the essence of Modernist ideas and traditional Chinese and Japanese garden design principles with a nuanced reading of its glacial landscape. The result is a distinctly American stroll garden on 185 acres surrounding a large, shimmering lake — a sublime composition of rock, water, wood and sky.
