A visit for four to a full city block of gardens which include a boxwood parterre rose garden, a boxwood specimen garden, a woodland garden and a cutting garden. The Rotch-Jones-Duff House (RJD) is the only whaling mansion open to the public in New England that retains its original configuration of grounds and outbuildings.
