    pink camellias in the camellia room
    D C.

    I am a long-time visitor of the Lyman Estate, particularly the greenhouses. I love it! I wish they had longer hours (they close at 4), but the greenhouses are spectacular. They have a lovely Camellia room, which, when in bloom, is a stunning display of oversized blooms and color. They also have a vast selection of varieties of orchids, many unusual and rare. In Spring/Summer they have a few herb/perennial sales, which offer a great opportunity to stock up on thyme, basil, rosemary, etc. They even had a curry plant at the last sale, which I'd never seen before! Really fascinating. Inside the main rooms of the greenhouse, they offer planting supplies, including a variety of cool pots, orchid mix, insecticides, and plant food. There are a ton of potted plants, many I never see elsewhere, like potted olive and jasmine, which smell amazing. I make contemporary terrariums, and often go to the greenhouse to purchase my plants, because the Lyman has a ton of tropicals and succulents (often including miniature ones) at affordable prices ($3-5 per plant). The selection can be hit-or-miss depending on when you visit, so you might have to visit a few times over time if you've got specific plants in mind. Additionally, I've purchased some orchids and potted plants from them that had bug issues (scale on the orchids, mealybugs on the succulents), so check your plants carefully before buying. The staff is really helpful, friendly, and not overly-attentive, so you can browse in peace. And just walking around the grounds at Lyman is a lovely way to pass some time, if you have it!

    A wonderful hidden gem. A great house from the past. The green house has very unique plants. If you love orchid, citrus, jasmine, camellias go! The green house has a plant sale going on now and the prices are very reasonable. The mansion hosts movies in the summer. Four generations of Lyman's lived here ( 1793 Theodore Lyman was a shipping merchant). Samuel McIntire was the designer of the house.
