The Green Garden at Tryon Palace in New Bern, North Carolina, is a stunning example of 18th-century landscape design that combines historical authenticity with natural beauty. Located within the palace grounds, this meticulously restored garden features geometric parterres, gravel pathways, and vibrant seasonal plantings that reflect the formal English style of the colonial era. In 2018, the garden was redesigned into a knot garden, which intertwines various plants to create the illusion of an endless cycle. Maintained with historical accuracy, it serves as both a living museum and a tranquil oasis, showcasing the elegance and horticultural artistry of the time. We have also included pictures of the garden display that lies between the Green Garden and the Latham Garden.
