Bush and George W. Bush. Additionl past client’s at Hunting Valley include Alexander Haig’s wife and the band Aerosmith.
The 86-year-old property began as a greenhouse and caretaker’s residence. Daisy Hill grew distinctive florals and botanicals, including a variety of orchids and hydrangeas among many others and the offspring of a 1886 Rhizomatous begonia with enormous leaves.
