Q:
Hi, Pat. What would you like to know about this attraction? I was just looking at the reviews. Altamount Gardens are just beautiful and I go there as often as I can. Next visit will be to see the bluebells ! I don't know how MIss. North could bear the thought of having to depart from Altamount and this World.. I can only imagine Miss North looking out the back window of her home, and looking down on the gardens and lake, or sitting on her balcony listening to the wildlife calling and singing as the Sun was setting. To me it was almost like visiting heaven on earth ! God Bless Miss North for allowing us to share her garden paradise.
A:
Altamont gardens are always worth visiting. There is interest in every season.
