Backstage Areas | Commercial Filming and Photography: Locations

Scattered throughout the property are working areas that can be transformed into any number of sets.

Just a few examples: the entrance to the Botanical work area once served as the gateway to a middle-America religious cult compound where a massacre had occurred.  For a different show, the work area parking lot served as the setting for a murder; the scene was set in China. A construction trailer in the back woods stood in for a construction site in Washington, DC, during a crime investigation. And the Head House garage was once dressed as an Internet cafe in Islamabad.

Mostly, of course, shows come here for the gardens. But many other options are available to help fill up your day; only a few are pictured here.
