Springtime on Long Island

Long Island is coming into full bloom.

Another reason to love Long Island!

Bayard Cutting Arboretum, Oakdale

This is the estate house, an English Tutor in style, of the Cutting family.

For more information about the estate and the arboretum....click here.

Take time to visit the beautiful grounds here at the arboretum. Now that spring is here and the weather is warm, the arboretum is alive with fresh flowers and the blooms of the season.

Each week, or every few days actually, something new is in bloom.

There is a $6 parking fee, free if you have the Empire Pass.
