We were fortunate to see the Biltmore Estate Flower Carpet (pictured above) on a beautiful and sunny August afternoon. The Flower Carpet was constructed from more than 155,000 live plants and flowers and designed to match a portion of the La Farge stained glass window that Mr. Vanderbilt inherited from his father. (The stained glass window is on display in Antler Hill Village.).
After checking out the Flower Carpet, we strolled around and came to the Italian Garden, which is situated near Biltmore House. It consists of three pools with water plants and neat statues all around, surrounded by hedges. If water plants are your thing, you will absolutely love this garden. We don’t remember it ever looking as good as it does this year, absolutely magical. Here are some photos for your enjoyment:
