This general area can be customized for large or small weddings. The sprawling Upper Lawn seats up to 300 guests. Adjacently situated is the Herb Garden, from which emanates the fragrance of lavender, rosemary, thyme, and mint. The Herb Garden consists of a series of concentric circles within a square, an adaptation of an ancient mandala pattern that is believed to convey good fortune. Nearby is the Lilac Border, which can either enhance the setting of a larger wedding or be the main feature of an intimate wedding ceremony. It is planted with French hybrid lilacs from the 1920s. In May, during the height of blooming season, the scent of lilac is absolutely sublime.
