AAA Traveler - Fall 2019 - 7
Secret
Gardens
Around the world, visitors flock to notable gardens
like those at the Palace at Versailles and Singapore's
Gardens by the Bay, but smaller gardens have
stories - and secrets - to tell as well. Here are five
secret gardens lovely enough for a visit.
AAA FIVE DIAMOND PROPERTY
FOUR SEASONS
Four Seasons
Hotel Toronto
In the heart of Toronto's chic
Yorkville neighborhood, AAA Five
Diamond Four Seasons Hotel Toronto
offers everything a traveler needs for
an unforgettable stay. Steps away
from the Mink Mile, Toronto's center
for high-end and luxury shopping, and
in a neighborhood packed with parks,
galleries and dining, the Four Seasons
makes an ideal base from which to
explore the city. This 55-story,
259-room hotel has it all: a posh
30,000-square-foot spa, yoga studio,
workout room with sweeping Toronto
views, a pair of restaurants from
acclaimed chef Daniel Boulud, and
one of Canada's top mixologists
behind the bar. At Café Boulud, Chef
Boulud drew inspiration from his
grandmother's kitchen and his
creations are paired with a wine list
350-bottles strong, while at d|bar, it's
cocktails, charcuterie, burgers and
beer. When you stay, you may have to
rely on in-room dining though as the
plush bed linens and spa-like
bathrooms are so tempting, you might
not leave your room.
Great Maytham Hall Kent, England
The walled garden and formal gardens of this
grand manor inspired the children's classic
The Secret Garden. It's a classic English
garden - mossy paving stones lead to
garden vignettes, ivy-covered walls and
along a shaded walkway to reveal natural and
elaborate plantings.
The Gardens of Alcatraz
Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, California
Dating back to Alcatraz Island's military days,
these gardens thrived when tended by soldiers
and then by prisoners. Some have been
restored to tell the striking and surprising story
of beauty in this harsh landscape.
Wendy's Secret Garden
Sydney, Australia
When her artist husband passed away,
Wendy Whiteley processed her grief by
clearing and landscaping a secret garden
overlooking Sydney Harbour. Today visitors
find solace in this living artwork that is a love
letter to her grief.
The High Line New York, New York
Part gardens, part public art space, part
history of the city, this park follows a
former railroad track along the west side of
Manhattan. It offers respite from the bustle
of the city and a touch of nature in an
urban landscape.
Las Pozas Xilitla, Mexico
English poet and artist Edward James
created this surrealist vision of the Garden
of Eden. He filled the 22-acre garden with
sculptures and structures that blend in with
and defy the natural landscape. Sculptures
reminiscent of orchid roots, stairs leading
nowhere and the jungle-like environs - it's a
place of wonder and avant-garde adventure.
