Tryon Palace – Commission House Garden

The Commission House Garden at Tryon Palace, located in New Bern, North Carolina, is a charming late Victorian-style garden that evokes the quintessential “Southern” home garden of the 19th century. Featuring a variety of plants often considered “old-fashioned,” such as magnolias, camellias, azaleas, and gardenias, many of these were exotic imports introduced to the South during the latter half of the 1800s. The garden’s design, with its lush perennial and shrub beds, reflects the aesthetic of the period and serves as a picturesque backdrop for events. The garden is located across the street from the Tryon Palace main entrance.
