Go further through the white and red oak forest and swamp willow savannah to your own slice of heaven on the banks of the Kish, keeping an eye out for bald eagles and deer. Closer to the house, check out beautiful terraced gardens, and help yourself to an apple, blackberries or raspberries, or resurrect the old vegetable garden or small vineyard.
