Meet the Gardener

Visitors have noticed the remarkable transformation of Clermont’s Walled, Wilderness, and Cutting Gardens—and it’s all thanks to the talent and dedication of Mary Hughes and her team. Their care, creativity, and hard work have brought new life to these historic spaces.

Now we invite you to meet Mary in person. Join us for a special garden tour where she’ll share insights into her process and the ongoing restoration.

For the past five years, Friends of Clermont has proudly supported the restoration of the gardens. We’re grateful to our members and donors who have made this work possible.
