Gardens

Biltmore’s formal gardens and pastoral grounds began from seed in the heart and mind of Frederick Law Olmsted, America’s father of landscape architecture. Hired by George Vanderbilt to create a European country setting, Olmsted achieved that goal, and then some. The variety of Biltmore’s gardens attracts garden lovers, master gardeners, and hobbyists every day from all over the world.
