The Gardens at Biltmore Estate

The Biltmore estate is located in Asheville, North Carolina, and was the vision of George W. Vanderbilt. He hired architect Richard Morris Hunt to design the 250-room French Renaissance chateau. It is the largest home in America.

I Have visited here many times and over the years have taken a lot of photographs at the Biltmore.

Biltmore estate encompasses more than 8,000 acres including gardens designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who is perhaps best known for the design and creation of Central Park in New York and the U.S. Capitol grounds in Washington, D.C. These photos were taken in the 4 acre walled garden.

The Conservatory, designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt, was built to provide Biltmore House with flowers and tender bedding plants. It still provides that role today, over 100 years later

The Conservatory consists of four main rooms. The “Palm House,” contains a large collection of foliage plants, including palms and ferns. The annexes include a cool house, hot house and orchid house. There is over 7,000 square feet and it is a wonderful tropical escape in the wintertime.

Since I was not able to get out to take pictures for my #WednesdayWalk. a challenge stared by @tattoodjay, I am remembering this stroll through the gardens at The Biltmore for today's walk.
