our gardens
The foundation for Stoney Bottom's spectacular gardens was laid 20+ years ago when a botanist and his wife retired to Boonville to build their own little slice of heaven. Through careful design and passionate execution, they transformed a 6-acre blank canvas into a stunning botanical oasis with an extensive network of pathways connecting gardens and green spaces with the property’s vacation homes.
Based on an English strolling model, the gardens and rolling lawns are planted with hundreds of specimen plants from around the world, some of which are rare and unusual.
