we love visitors!

Stoneleigh has been many things to many people throughout the years: a working farm, a country retreat, a palatte for notable landscape architects, and a family home. Today, Stoneleigh is a place for visitors to enjoy its tranquil nature, delight in gardens that layer historical designs with contemporary native plant species, and be inspired by the beauty and benefits of gardening in concert with nature.
