Dumbarton Oaks Gardens

August 28, 2015 by The Sunny Side Up Recipes Leave a Comment

While I usually post recipes on the blog, this week I had to make an exception because this was too special to miss! For those of you who live in DC, Dumbarton Oaks in Georgetown is truly a hidden gem and an oasis in the chaos of the city.

A historic estate built in the 1920’s, the fifty three acre property is surrounded by exquisite rose gardens, herb gardens, and fountains. National Garden even ranks it sixth in the world, keeping it in line with Versailles and Kew.

Needless to say, it’s absolutely stunning and well worth a visit! Entry is only $10 per person for the day and the entrance is found at 31st and R street, just a short walk from the main shops on M Street. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
