General:
The rusticated native granite and brownstone house built in 1893 has been described as an organic extension of its natural situation, following the dictum of the property's landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted to respect the genius of place. The house sits on a 30-foot-high cliff facing south toward the Atlantic Ocean. It was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt in a late French gothic style, to emulate architect H.H. Richardson who died before working on this commission. Olmsted participated in determining the style and siting of the house then designed a landscape garden that the current owners are recreating on the eight and one-half acre property.

The house was restored by previous owners after 40 years of neglect, but the garden was overgrown with vines, nightshade, juniper and bittersweet with trees growing through roofs and turrets. After researching Olmsted's original planting list (eliminating plants now considered invasive) and visiting other Olmsted and Capability Brown landscapes the owners who bought the property in 2009 planted large trees and shrubs, restored walkways, and rescued pieris japonica and rhododendron from the original landscape. The owners installed a new gate and changed the driveway from asphalt to gravel with cobblestone edging. They have created a large garden bed and landscaped borders, choosing plants that either withstand salt spray and wind from the ocean or hotter summer microclimates from rock outcroppings. The full-size specimen trees required heavy machinery to plant in place.

The estate was named after a spring on the property, and possibly a legend involving the murder of an Indian maiden drowned in a well. An historic stone bollard alongside the driveway known as the babbling brook produces a tinkling sound when pebbles are dropped over it. Future gardens plans include more borders, decorative elements, and possibly an orchard if deer and rabbit predations can be controlled.

Persons associated with the garden's design: Frederick Law Olmsted, Landscape Architect (1890-1893); James Thompson, head gardener (1893-1922); Joseph Silveria, head gardener (1922-1951).

Skywatch-Bain Condo Garden (Seattle, Washington)
Scope and Contents:
16 digital images (2022-2023) and 1 file folder.
General:
The terrace garden, on the 16th floor of the mixed-use condominium building designed by the architect owner, is meticulous in every detail of plant and hardscape selections. Plants must be able to withstand cold and high winds and all day south and west exposure, plus 95 percent of the plants grow in containers. On the terrace there are two mature Japanese maples that have been repotted four times in containers that all match but are in graduated sizes. Boxwood and euonymus hedges are pruned once each year to a desired height. A zinc frame trellis supports a vertical garden of English ivy. A large container garden, the signature bed, is designed to change with the seasons, with spring hellebores, snowdrop and narcissus followed by Duchess de Nemours peony then ornamental grasses. There are three garden rooms: the terrace with a water feature, the west garden, and the conservatory dining room. The west garden features containers of lavender, sedums, holly, arbutus, and more with staggered heights that disguise any supports or fixtures when viewed from indoors. The third conservatory garden features palms.

The residence and gardens were built in 1988, then the waterproof liner on the terrace needed replacing in 2013 when the current garden was installed. Irrigation tubing runs between pavers and under the planters. Wiring for outdoor lighting is hidden, and the living wall of ivy is self-watering. The owners integrated Feng Shui elements of water, earth, fire and metal into the new garden, which comprises 0.08 acres. Views and access to the outdoors are equally important to their choices

Persons associated with the garden's design: Shannon Nichols/GGN Landscape Architect (2013); Colton Wilkie, plant specialist (2016- ).

Place:
Hieronimus Garden (Arch Cape, Oregon)
United States of America -- Oregon -- Clatsop County -- Arch Cape
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet and abbreviated garden plan, detailed plans for the entire garden and the garden railroad, a plant list, and a photocopy of an article about the garden.
General:
This small garden near the sea has been under development since 1990. The main garden is in the informal Pacific Northwest style, using native plants combined with non-natives. The plants include those known to do well near the sea and experiments with others of unknown salt tolerance. The front of the house has a foundation planting of various Rhododendron yakushimanum hybrids, and there is a large collection of hydrangeas, both species and hybrids, many of which were propagated by the owner. A moon-gated arbor, copied from one in an old Chinese garden, leads to the enclosed portion of the garden and the prime attraction: the garden railroad. It is a miniature landscape featuring rocky cliffs and ravines, roads, bridges, dry-laid and mortared rock retaining walls, alpine plants, and dwarf conifers as a setting for scale model (1:24) buildings and a G scale train, which is battery operated and radio controlled. In addition to a steady stream of individuals, the garden has been visited by the Rock Garden Society, the American Conifer Society, numerous garden clubs, and landscaping and gardening classes. The garden is open to visitors by appointment.
Persons associated with the garden include: Robert Astbury (former owner, mid-1800s); J. M. Shank (former owner, 1932-1945); Kent Price (former owner, 1945-?); and Eleanor Stith (former owner, ca. 1970).

Type:
Archival materials
Place:
Untitled Garden (Arch Cape, Oregon)
United States of America -- Oregon -- Clatsop County -- Arch Cape
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet and a garden plan.
General:
Under development since 1976, this garden's gradual construction and evolution have resulted in a collection of borders and rock gardens informally planned, constructed, and changed gradually over the subsequent years. This process continues with the addition of crevice gardens to replace a portion of the existing rock gardens. Primarily a collectors' garden rather than a designed landscape, the garden focuses on rock gardening and alpine plants; between 1,500 and 2,000 species are represented. Salt tolerance, especially of small shrubs, is a primary issue, although there are microclimates even on this small piece of land. Rainfall is also high, averaging 110 inches per year, with 150 inches being experienced in two recent years. Some of the rock gardens with sensitive alpines are covered in the winter, while winter gales can reach 60 to 70 miles per hour. Some of the plants have been purchased from nurseries, but the majority have been grown from seed or cuttings acquired from friends or in the wild. Wild-collected seed and the resulting plants in the alpine gardens are the most valued garden material. These collections of seed have been taken on trips in Europe, Asia, South Africa, and North America, although the main concentration has been on South America, especially in the Andes of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. In addition to the border and rock gardens there are troughs, containers, and frames.
Persons associated with the garden include: George Hurd (former owner, ca. 1942-1973).
