Green Animals Topiary Garden
The Green Animals Topiary Garden is located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and is also one of the oldest topiary gardens in the United States. It is situated on a 7-acre estate and consists of numerous collections of topiaries, including 80 sculptured trees. Visitors love the teddy bears, camel, and giraffe made from the sculptured California privet, yew, and English boxwood.
Other topiary structures to look out for include the dog and horse. The Topiary Garden also has a greenhouse that provides all the seedling’s plants to grow and an 1859 Victorian Brayton that allows kids to buy a small display of vintage toy animals. In there, the greenhouse once housed the oldest topiary plant seedlings that are believed to have been grown in 1812.
