Sycamore Hill Farm & Garden

About

Sycamore Hill Farm & Garden, also called Sycamore Hill Gardens, is the home of George and Karen Hanford in Marcellus. It started life as a fully working dairy farm with more than 300 head of Jersey cattle and has since grown into nearly 40 acres of gardens.

The grounds are divided into distinct areas, with trees, shrubs, perennials and spring-flowering bulbs, plus Asian and European statuary, koi ponds, stonework, a formal garden and a hedge maze. Several large open spaces offer expansive views, and the site also hosts small, self-catered celebrations.
