Lanark
The gardens of Lanark in Millbrook
cover more than 30 acres, and are the
result of the efforts of Isabel and Wiley
Hill who moved there as newlyweds in
1948. The couple spent 50 years creating
a landscape filled with flowering trees,
daffodils, camellias, azaleas, narcissus,
hydrangeas and many other species,
including native wildflowers.
Lawns, ponds, bridges, streams and
wooded paths are also part of the natural
display designed by the Hills.
Wiley Hill died in 1995, and Isabel Hill
in 2001, and both houses on the 350-acre
property and the included gardens were
left to the Alabama Wildlife Federation.
