The Great Lawn, Herb Garden & Amphitheater

This general area can be customized for large or small weddings. The sprawling lawn is situated adjacent to the Herb Garden, from which emanates the fragrance of lavender, rosemary, thyme, and mint and consists of a series of concentric circles within a square, an adaptation of an ancient mandala pattern that is believed to convey good fortune. Nearby is the Amphitheater, which can be the main feature of an intimate wedding ceremony. It is planted with a variety of seasonal blooms including lilacs.
