A historic mansion in New Jersey, once a private home for Moroccan royalty, today is a luxurious hotel. People visiting two sites in Portland, Oregon, might imagine that they have been transported to Asia. Guests at a deluxe resort in Tennessee awaken to watch the sun rise over the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
The charms of these disparate attractions would be reason enough to entice visitors to find their way to those destinations, but they share another inviting appeal, too. Each provides the setting for a garden that offers either examples of Mother Nature’s magnificent beauty or her magnanimous edible bounty.
