Historic Gardens of Virginia 



throned on the hill. It is surrounded by giant oaks and elms and 

 does not need the distant view of the garden. 



A wee garden now nestles at the south front of Bremo. This is 

 a true daughter of the old-time garden, wafting to one on the Greek 

 portico above, the delicious fragrance of magnolia, mimosa, crepe 

 myrtle, lavender, cinnamon pinks, and musk-cluster roses. In it one 

 may find white and blue violets, peeping through the green leaves, 

 and a shimmer of golden crocus on its borders. This little garden, 

 with its overgrown predecessor, and everything in both leads one's 

 fancy to float along the fragrant paths of a century gone and rejoice 

 that old-time flowers still greet each season at Bremo.
