The Holstein House Gardens surround a privately owned second generation home located between Albany and Corvallis, Oregon south of Hwy 34.  It was built in 1900 and the classic red barn followed soon thereafter. The existing gardens began to develop in the 1980s by Bonny Bowens who resides there now with her husband, John, the "maintenance foreman". Various themed gardens include a Streamside Garden, the Autumn Garden, a semi formal English cottage garden which includes ponds and a stream and cottage, A Knot Garden and so much more. Other areas too delight visitors such as the Secret Garden, the Tunnel Trellis, the Soothing Shade Garden and, well, you'll just have to see it to appreciate it!

Historic Holstein House Garden & Arts offers popular garden art welding classes in the winter and outdoor weddings in the summer.

We are booked full for 2009.     

All Weddings and special events receive our personal attention and we only accept a few each summer so we may maintain that unique quality that each should have.  We are a husband and wife team and we have opened our home and gardens to share with you for your enjoyment and not simply as a commercial enterprise
