Located beside Reynolda House Museum of American Art, Reynolda Gardens is now a 129 acre recreation destination. The gardens of Reynolda house were designed by Louis L. Miller and Horatio R.

Comprised of a beautiful greenhouse conservatory and gardens, many forget that there are also winding paved trails as well. The Conservatory at 
Reynolda Gardens celebrates its 100th anniversary October, 2013. Just behind the house is Lake Katharine and the Boathouse. Buckenham and Miller designed the rock-faced dam to block the flow of Silas Creek and several smaller streams to form Lake Katharine in 1913.
