The BrineGarden
Enter A Dreamlike Landscape
“a dreamlike landscape that takes its cues from the old shade trees and fence posts remaining from the farm that was once here…”- Ann Raver, the New York Times
Located on six rolling acres in Pawling, NY, the BrineGarden is a celebration of natural beauty and layered storytelling of naturalistic landscape design.
Beauty For—and In—All Seasons
The work of celebrated Landscape Designers Duncan and Julia Brine, the BrineGarden takes its cues from the geological, ecological, and anthropological history of the land itself, featuring winding paths and onsite and offsite vistas. Wetland gardens appear and disappear with the seasons. Hidden vistas reveal themselves.
