Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets, site plans, and additional information.
General:
Situated in the Sessions Village area of Columbus, this .33 acre garden reflects the ideas of its current owners. With a goal of wanting the home to feel as though every room is part of the garden, lines have been blurred between the inside and outside and exterior garden rooms have been created. The garden can be seen from the major living areas, while a second-story deck off one of bedrooms provides an elevated view. Pleached trees border the property lines on the east and west and the paths and the patio area are surfaced in a unifying gravel of soft tan. An open lawn contains a geometric knot garden of boxwood, edged on the south by a patterned boxwood and holly hedge. Topiary standards are used about the garden as accents, climbing roses are trained around the openings of French doors, and a tiny herb garden surrounds a jardiniere. The architectural style of the glass-topped table and wall fountain appear to have slipped out of the interior rooms. The entry courtyard of brick with flanking boxed columnar English oaks breaks with the all-green theme through the addition of a touch of colored coleus.
Persons associated with the property include Shawn Shear (landscape designer, 2000); Robert Reeves, Sr. (architect, 1956); and Thomas E. Davis, Jr. (former owner, 1956-1997).
There is additional documentation of other gardens in Sessions Village. See OH226000 and OH230000-234000.

General:
Grafton is located in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. Established in 1903, the 13 acre property features a formal garden designed by Landscape Architect Martha Brookes Hutcheson. Sited above a private beach, Grafton offers views of the Atlantic Ocean, nearby islands, and Boston in the distance.
The formal garden is entered by stepping down through a hedge of Endless Summer hydrangeas flowering in front of the low stone wall. The garden is symmetrically laid out with two rectangular beds mirroring each other at the beginning and repeated at the end of the garden.  There are four L-shaped beds facing each other for a total of eight beds.  Additional beds are along the outer perimeter of these beds. The first two rectangle beds are planted with shrub roses from David Austin. Echinacea, Salvia, and geraniums encircle the roses providing color and scent.   Four L-shaped beds surround you with phlox, peonies, Euphorbia, Helenium, Asters, Monarda, daylilies, iris, dahlias and hostas.  Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' provides a focal point and structure in the four corners of the main beds and Hibiscus syriacus 'Red Heart' added in the middle of the same beds. Color and height changing as the season progresses.
At the far end of the garden there is a semi-circular pond. It is approached through two rectangular beds which are full of Japanese tree peonies augmented with anemone. The pond is edged in granite, planted with water lilies and lotus, and backed by a yew hedge that is trimmed to a height of the arbor wall. A small lead statue of a boy which is placed on top of a rock in the middle and a trickle of water flows underneath.  Behind the pond is a semi-circular arbor with grape vines draping over the timber structure designed by Martha Brookes Hutcheson in 1902.  Long beds planted along the high wall of the garden hold English roses with clematis and cherry trees pruned against the wall.  Peonies, crocosmia, salvia and dahlias combine to enhance this area and tie the garden together.
Down the stairs past the tree peony bed, there is a border of new Stewartia pseudocamelia.  The border is also planted with holly, Weigela, peony, goat's beard, clematis, and hydrangea. A carpet of sweet woodruff lightens the space and is combined with the dropping magnolia flowers.  Another bed is filled with hydrangea, Weigela, and fothergilla shrubs.  A bird bath original to the property was sited across from the path between the tree peony beds and the back planting beds.
Toward the ocean between two shrub borders, a new hedge of Weigela has been planted along the whole backside of these two beds creating a visual ending of the formal garden where two old iron chairs and a wellhead are located. A long bed is planted with clipped Deutzias and underplanted with hostas.  A shrub rose is planted in the middle of the hedge forming a backdrop for the chairs. Behind all is a stone wall containing the garden, and in the background, the sea. The seating area is in line with a sundial placed along the long border and the opposite exterior garden wall.  To the left, the wall continues and then ends with some unclipped Deutzias forming an archway with hostas planted underneath.  On the right the garden becomes informal with cranberry Viburnums planted in a swath with steps leading down to a grass landing area and more steps leading to the house, the main lawn, or the beach.
The current Regency style house, designed by Lincoln Boyden Jr., was constructed in the 1940s to replace a larger 55-room mansion designed by Herbert D. Hale in 1900.
Persons associated with the garden's design: Martha Brooks Hutcheson (landscape designer, 1902-1910), Herbert D. Hale (architect, 1900-1905), Fletcher Steele (landscape architect, 1935), Lincoln Boyden Jr. (architect, 1941), Umberto Innocenti (landscape architect, 1942), Jason Arnold (gardener, 1978-1983), Denise King (gardener, 1984-1987), Jan Hendryck (gardener, 1988-1995), Elizabeth R.
