Exploring the Unique Charm of Green Animals in Newport Mansions
Kermit the Frog would feel perfectly comfortable among the critters that inhabitGreen Animals, a scenic, 7-acre estate and topiary garden overlooking Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. Green Animals and its topiary garden, like many of the Newport Mansions, is operated by the Preservation Society of Newport County. However, its location in Portsmouth, about a 30-minute drive from the dense concentration of palatial properties on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, means it is often overlooked by Newport visitors.
