Papa’s World – The BILTMORE GARDENS!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

To think these magical gardens are over 100 years old – it takes your breath away!

Here is where thousands of trees – plants and flowers were carefully cultivated to bring life back to a land cleared for farming!

I can not imagine the cost of building this and maintaining it; it still functions today!

The arrangements and colors are breathtaking – the entire average surrounding the estate is a result of years of planting trees – shrubs, and plants that flower.

Cindy and Sherry are inside the greenhouse with thousands of plants.

It is stunning that this is still going on all these years.

If you visit – walk the walled-in gardens and visit the greenhouse – you will not be disappointed.

PAPA’S WORLD – The Biltmore estate!

Sherry – standing in front of the 170,000 SF Biltmore estate in Ashville, N.C.

This is hard to imagine such a huge home but we toured the whole thing that we were allowed to see.

Room after room – floor after floor – bowling lanes – pool – workout area and bedrooms and bathrooms.

Today’s cost – I guess somewhere North of $200 million!

View from the back-covered patio porch that was a hundred feet long!

The estate today is a tourist destination with audio tours from room to room and floor to floor.

I would put this on a bucket list of something to see in your lifetime.

Sherry and I were inside – this area was the heart of the house – full of plants – trees and sunken down from the floor.

This was our second time being here – Thanks for reading PAPA’S WORLD – my site: livinglifedoingitmyway.blog
