Hello Everyone,
I want to share some photos with you that I took yesterday at Kingwood Center, which is a 47-acre public estate/gardens in Mansfield, Ohio. This was my third time visiting. I was there in the fall, and posted about it, which you can find HERE, and then again at Christmastime HERE. Each season is spectacular! Kingwood Center was once a private residence, built in 1926 by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kelley King. Mr. and Mrs. King, who never had children, left their estate to a private foundation, and it was opened to the public in 1953. Mr. King made his fortune working with the Ohio Brass Company.

Beautiful photos, Cindy. This brings back memories for me. I grew up just south of Marion, Ohio, and I can remember going to these gardens a couple of times when I was a kid. I haven't thought about that in a long time. They are still as lovely as ever. :-)
I have never been there and hubs just said he's interested in driving there and seeing it soon.
Before it gets too hot for me, hate the heat.
Thanks Cindy- looks spectacular!!
Hugs!
My goodness it looks so French! Lovely.
Gorgeous!
The gardens are beautiful Cindy. It is such a pretty place I see why you go back each season.
That place is just BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks for sharing the photos!!!
so pretty! xo
Looks a great place - thanks for sharing! Valerie
Spectacular! It is lovely seeing gardens planted en masse like that. It does rather put the one tulip in our garden to shame. Yes, I did say one!
Wow! What a beautiful place to visit! Thanks for sharing with us.
Wonderful Pictures! So Happy to hear you made it out yesterday and got to see the tulips at their peak. And thanks for sharing your pictures. - Amy Beth
Such a beautiful place Cindy! I also like the pictures of your kitty cats on the sidebar and am happy to know that they each hold a special job!
Give them a kiss for me today.

I just love Kingwood Center. Haven't been there for more than a few years now, but I have fond memories of my visits there. My aunt used to live just down the street from it and I remember as a child sneaking in a side entrance with my brother and running around smelling and enjoying all the beautiful tulips. Thanks for sharing.

These flowers and trees blooming at this garden are simply lovely.

I love tulips! My favorite flower! Thanks for sharing these pictures!!!!
P.S. I found you on Pink Saturday!
What a love place. I would truly enjoy strolling thorough the grounds.
Simply stunning Cindy! Wow! I can see why you visit! Have a great day!
So glad you shared these beautiful photos of the estate. The gardens are just wonderful and so are your photos. Thanks for sharing.
Cindy, I have never heard of this estate but I'm so glad you shared with us. We had huge brass center here in Waterbury, CT long ago also--as a matter of fact the city's name is The Brass City, and there were apparently some huge fortunes made. This estate is magnificent. I looked back at your other posts on it too. The "marble" banister was very clever! And I see they do weddings also--can you imagine one on these grounds? It would be wonderful. So glad you shared this with us. I am putting this on the list of places to see when hubby and I take our trip across the country someday in the distant future. Linda
I love visiting gardens and Kingwood Center looks like one to visit. Thank you for taking us there and sharing your wonderful photos.
Amazing gardens. Such a delight to view them. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful place! I especially enjoyed seeing all of those lovely tulips blooming. :)
We always visit gardens on our vacations and this one must go on our list of places to see! Just gorgeous photos. Dianne
GORGEOUS grounds!!!
Great it is a beautiful garden, and I am sure it takes a lot to maintain it that way. Thank you for sharing it with us, who wont be able to see it in this lifetime.
There were so many beautiful tulips in this lovely garden! How delightful and such a pretty place to spend the day. Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
I have got to remember to plant a whole bunch of tulips together to get that awesome display that this garden has. Lovely post!
