Hollister House Garden

Washington, Connecticut

George Schoellkopf’s Hollister House is an extraordinarily beautiful New England garden made in the classic English style of a loosely formal structure informally planted. As a Garden Conservancy project, I spearheaded the permanent preservation of the garden and am helping Hollister House become a valued horticultural resource for the region. We established a nonprofit organization to which Mr. Schoellkopf is donating the property with an endowment. A board of directors is in place and a friends group opens the garden to the public. Hollister House is now widely recognized for its garden beauty and quality of programs.
