What makes a great public garden 'great' is the scale and complexity of plantings, structures, paths and other garden elements in the landscape. Winterthur has expansive naturalistic gardens that are considered the best in North America. At the house are more structured formal gardens, designed by Marion Coffin. The drifts of Azaleas and Rhododendrons frame the house in spring so that the formal and informal merge into a showcase display. At this time of year, the azaleas are reflected in the pond so that the seahorse is surrounded by pink waves.
