At Linwood: summer workshops for graphic artists

Linwood Gardens is located 35 miles southwest of Rochester, New York, in the farmlands of the Genesee Valley.

Linwood Gardens serves as a private residence. It is only open to the public for the Tree Peony Festival of Flowers,  Summer Workshops,  and the  Open Garden Day  participants.

Linwood Gardens is listed on the National and The New York State Register of Historic Places.
