What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to Garden Tour: Edith Wharton's The Mount
Farrand designed the entrance sequence in three parts. The first part is an 800-foot long straight allee of sugar maples. It passed an extensive kitchen garden she designed adjacent to the gatehouse (seen through the fog in this picture) which no longer exists. It also passed a greenhouse and the stables. Beyond those outbuildings it leads through the woods.
added by John Hill to Design Photography: When the Fog Rolls In
Here the fog blurs the gatehouse at the end of this allée, increasing the anticipation on the approach to the indistinct architecture.
added by Amy Renea to Create Nests: Treat Yourself to a Protected Walkway
Of course, everyone's idea of a wondrous walkway includes a towering allée of trees on either side, their branches reaching out to meet each other far overhead. Add a little protective fog, a vista and a curve at the end of the path leading towards a new adventure, and this is quite possibly the perfect path. It also takes at least 30 years to create a path like this from scratch.
added by Amy Renea to Mid-Atlantic Gardener's October Checklist
Mid-October brings bolder and brighter displays that are as magical as they are spooky in the early-morning fog.

fabulous mural material, tall coloured trees, slight fog to blur the sharp images, most appealing.

So romantic! An allee of trees was also created to protect women from the harmful effects of the sun.
