Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens - National Parks Gallery

The Aquatic Gardens consist of 45 ponds separated by earthen dikes. Walter B. Shaw bought the property in 1879 with his wife and soon adapted a nearby ice pond to grow a few hardy lilies from his New England home. Over time, the amount and variety of water lilies growing around the property expanded. Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
