Green Animals Topiary Garden

Known For

Sculpted topiary animals roaming a historic Victorian estate

Green Animals Topiary Garden is one of Newport's most genuinely surprising attractions — sculpted animal hedges set against a vintage estate create a moody atmosphere that's equal parts whimsical and eerie. The grounds reward slow, wandering visits more than rushed ones.

🕐Best time to visit: October afternoons when the foliage frames the hedges

380 Corys Ln, Portsmouth, RI 02871, USA

Our Take

Green Animals Topiary Garden is one of the most genuinely strange and delightful properties in New England — eighty-plus sculpted animal shapes set against sweeping bay views on a Portsmouth estate that feels frozen in another era. It's worth the short drive from Newport proper, though the experience is more whimsical curiosity than polished destination.
