Summerseat's Gift

Summerseat’s Gift

When visiting Summerseat, one will discover an unexpected surprise at the rear of the house as you roam toward the colorful gardens. Nestled in the back next to a peaceful gazebo, are the gardens of Summerseat. Planted by previous owners and very loosely based on English cottage gardens, there are six separate areas, including the gazebo.

Each season is appropriately represented by its own source of color and greenery. The trees and spring blooming shrubs start to put out buds with the promise of heavenly scents and sights when they bloom. The bulbs, such as daffodils, can’t wait to push themselves out into the sunlight. A slight warm spell at the end of winter will sometimes encourage them.

Animal Information

Summerseat has served as home to a countless number of farm animals to include horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and even llamas! Many of the current farm animals have come to Summerseat either by donation or as gifts. Birds of flight include geese, ducks, guinnea hens, doves, and a large variety of chickens.

Our wild residents (grazing the fenced in pastures) include American Buffalo and Barbados Sheep, giving Southern Maryland a variety of animals only seen at Summerseat!

At one time, Summerseat had considered serving as an Animal Sanctuary for the local community. However, due to funding constraints, Summerseat is no longer able to care for wounded or sick animals.
