Old Westbury Gardens | Polka Dot Pound Cake

Old Westbury Gardens, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is the former home of John S. Phipps, his wife, Margarita Grace Phipps and their four children. Completed in 1906 by the English designer, George A. Crawley, the magnificent Charles II-style mansion is nestled amid 200 acres of formal gardens, landscaped grounds, woodlands, ponds and lakes. Westbury House is furnished with fine English antiques and decorative arts from the more than fifty years of the family’s residence.

Today, Westbury Gardens welcomes visitors of all ages for guided tours

of Westbury House and Gardens, in-depth tours of the formal gardens,

school visits, children’s programs and events, family programs, museum

exhibits, classic car shows, indoor and outdoor classical concerts, summer

pop concerts, slide lectures, book signings, horticultural demonstrations

and workshops, Scottish Games, botanical arts and gardening classes, and

Master Gardener and Educator-led Talks and Tours of topics relating to

horticulture, art, history, design and architecture.
