Portsmouth Residents Get Free Day at Green Animals Topiary Garden

Portsmouth residents can get into the Green Animals Topiary Garden for free on Saturday, Sept. 19 thanks to a special invitation by The Preservation Society of Newport County.

Any resident and family member is welcome to visit for free as part of a continuing celebration of the society’s 70th anniversary.

Proof of residency is required and it can be in the form of a driver’s license, motor vehicle registration, passport, utility bill or similar document that shows a name and address.

“Green Animals in Portsmouth is an important part of the Preservation Society’s collection of historic houses and landscapes,” said Preservation Society CEO & Executive Director Trudy Coxe. “This charming and whimsical property offers a fun place for families to spend time together, while learning about the unique art of topiary and the operations of an historic Victorian garden.”

Rhode Islanders are lucky to live in a place with stunning destinations. Interestingly, many are so busy living their day-to-day lives, they don’t get many opportunities to explore some of the places that attract visitors from around the world.

There will be extra parking on Sep. 19 available at the adjacent St. Philomena’s School parking lot.

Green Animals Topiary Garden is located at 380 Cory’s Lane in Portsmouth.
