During the spring and summer, guests are invited to tour our extensive and ever changing gardens.

As spring begins in April, hundreds of daffodils bloom along the mansion driveway. By mid-May, an array of varieties bloom in the iris garden.

A historic bed features irises from the 1920's and early 1930's. In June, the ramblers and old fashioned roses bloom in the formal gardens that can be enjoyed from the access stairway as well as along the brick walkways. An herb garden showcases a variety of plants including the West Virginia Centennial Tomato from 1963. By mid-summer day lilies dominate the terrace garden area and the butterfly garden attracts many visitors as the perennial garden beds continue blooming through the fall. Birds are in abundance in the gardens and on the grounds.

The gardens at Adaland provide the visitor with a setting for wedding celebrations, garden parties or a quiet time for relaxing. The gardens are accessible by stairs or from the barn parking lot. New additions to the garden area this year include the pergola and a wedding arbor in the terrace area.
