General:
Located on less than an acre, Addington Garden is a very small unique English-styled garden established in 1990. The garden is enhanced with large boulders that give it interest and texture. Flowers of the same kind are grouped around the boulders at the entrance walkway that passes by an ivy-laden brick wall enclosing a 'secret garden' by the front door of the house. There are flower beds with tulips and daffodils, poppies, pansies and various other annuals, potted plants, trees and flowering shrubbery on the east and north sides of the house where they get morning sun for continuous blooming. A small shady seating area on the north lawn of the property has a low stacked stone retaining wall behind it planted with annuals and perennials that border the house. A courtyard with a fountain, sculpture, and potted plants is located on the west side of the house. The owner collects unique objects that are found throughout the garden.
Garden designer Pam Caldwell and John Morelock were landscape architects previously associated with the property. In addition providing a vision to the flower plantings, dandscape designer Carl Neels of Country Life Landscape also maintains the garden. The owner currently employes a gardener specifically to take care of the roses.
Persons associated with the garden include: Pam Caldwell (garden designer, dates unknown), John Morelock (garden designer, dates unknown), Carl Neels (landscape designer, 2006).

General:
The four-acre property described as a cool retreat in Dallas is shaded by a canopy of old native cedar elm trees and has a stone grotto built into an artificial hillside that was designed to add instant age. The new property, owned since 1982, has a stone circle fire pit overlooking Bachman Creek, a terraced rose and herb garden with gravel paths behind an ornamental iron gate, parterre gardens, a chicken coop, a dog kennel with a courtyard, a children's play yard and playhouse, and a rectangular swimming pool surrounded by another pool for koi. Other outbuildings include a cabana next to the pool, a dual purpose guest house and gym, and a greenhouse. The grotto is constructed of boulder outcroppings sheathed in fig vines with an elaborate shell mosaic in the interior and is used for dining. Along the driveway to the house there are dense plantings of mature trees, lawns and naturalized areas. Closer in the manicured lawns are divided by stone walkways and crossed by stepping stones. Color is provided by magnolias, azaleas, a wisteria trained up the house's exterior iron staircase, roses, tall bearded iris, jasmine and verbena. Seasonal plantings in the parterres and in urns on the bluestone terrace include pansies, begonias, caladium, pintas, periwinkle, daffodils and tulips. Low dry stone walls are used to delineate the different areas of the property.
Persons associated with the garden include: Paul Fields (landscape architect, 2008); Susan Grantham (landscape architect, 2008); Rosa Finsley (landscape architect, 2014); Matt Stevens of Texas Garden Services (landscape design, 2014); Connie Chantillis (shell mosaic artist, 2008); Watkins Ornamental Iron (fencing and gates, 2005).

Materials relating to the public gardens of the Five Rivers Metro Park of Montgomery, Ohio. The folder includes a slide list, a description of the slides, brochures, excerpts from publications featuring the gardens, and a description and worksheet completed by GCA researcher, Annabelle Cummings.
General:
"Aullwood is a wooded garden with plants blooming from late February until December. Tens of thousands of mertensia cover the hillsides in April. They are accompanied with a profusion of blue-eyed Mary's. Hepaticas, drifts of trillium, Dutchmen's britches, shooting stars, and violets are throughout the woods."
"Throughout the years, the Aulls interlaced native spring flowering plants with celandine poppies, thousands of yellow and white daffodils, early spring aconites, adonis, hellebores, hostas and hyacinths. Aullwood Garden has diverse colors and textures of border foliage; summer-long ground covers take over from bulbs that flower and die; creeping rock plants claim sunny spaces; hostas' glossy foliage and later lavender flowers nod in deep shade. "
Special spaces are designated for a perennial garden, a rose garden, a lilac garden, and hydrangeas. The informal natural charm of the wooded landscape is never lost as the seasons change. A carpet of pansies throughout April and May becomes a rose garden in June. As summer settles in, the front lawn's border of perennials becomes a show place of color, texture, and pattern. In early September the colchicum bursts into drifts along the creek bordering the Sycamore lawn. A few weeks after that, the vibrant colors of autumn transform the woods. The Aulls were determined to keep indistinct boundaries between garden and woods. A natural look with a variety of flowers never loses harmony with the wooded background.
Persons associated with the property include: Marie and John Aull, (former owners).

General:
The four acre property known as the Robb-Montgomery House, built in 1875, has deep woodlands, hundreds of flowering trees and shrubs, thousands of spring bulbs, an English style water garden under an ornate iron gazebo that has a lion's head wall fountain feeding the stone enclosed koi pond, a stone barn with a carved entablature over the door, dry stone walls and massive flags of local limestone - with the work conceived and carried out by the current owner over the past twenty years. The gardens are most colorful in spring when dogwoods, redbuds, magnolias, rhododendrons and azaleas are in bloom, along with swaths of tulips planted annually as well as beds of naturalized daffodils. Garden areas near the house were designed in the same late Victorian style and are embellished with statuary, fountains, birdbaths and granite wishing well, some of which were salvaged from other estates. The trees, shrubs and bulbs planted on the property have been selected for continuous bloom from February through May.
Mature trees including ashes, elms, maples, oaks and walnuts provide an open canopy over the contoured mixed borders and understory flowering trees, which include magnolias, Japanese maples, buckeyes, dawn redwoods, dove trees, franklin trees and two dwarf peach trees on the terrace. A mature magnolia found on the property motivated the purchase and restoration of the house and grounds. Deer control has been essential since the formal gardens lead to woodlands and ravines. Pesticides are not used on this property and a recent infestation of emerald ash borer will be managed by removing the ash trees.
Persons associated with the garden include: David T. Robb and Caroline Lockwood Robb, James W. and Caroline Robb Montgomery (former owners, 1875-1935); Cox family (former owners, 1935-1954); Minderman family (former owners, 1954-1960); Hickman family (former owners, 1960-1965); Fein family (former owners, 1965-1985); Frohman family (former owners, 1985-1993).
