Place:
Foster/Murray Garden (Columbia, South Carolina)
United States of America -- South Carolina -- Richland County -- Columbia
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet and abbreviated garden plan.
General:
This two-acre garden site is on the grounds of the old Heathwood Hall mansion, which later became a school. The neighborhood was planted in native red and whte oaks that have matured to give interesting architectural structure to the area. The garden was planted in 1948 by the first owners of the house, Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis Hunt. Their basic design continues today. The foundation planting was laid out as well as the terraces and other beds. At that time it was primarily an azalea, flowering tree, and camellia garden with paths and two center beds forming a figure eight as the focal point. The garden was enclosed by extensive decorative wrought iron fencing. Mr. and Mrs. William J. Murray returned to Columbia, their former home, in 1960, and bought the house. In 1961 George S. Betsill, a gifted landscape architect, who went on to a long career with the prestigious landscape architectural firm of Innocenti and Webel, redesigned paths and center beds. Mrs. Murray added more azaleas, camellias, a selection of bulbs, and a rose garden. She and Betsill also cut in shady paths edged by mountain laurel and hedges of hydrangeas. Mrs. Murray collected outdoor statuary that is displayed throughout the garden. Following Mrs. Murray's death at age 99 the property passed to the current owners, who renovated existing plantings which had become neglected and added significantly to the plants while retaining the original design. In 1993 a massive oak tree's fall during a storm created the opportunity for a sunny garden along the once shady paths. This is now a butterfly garden filled with herbaceous perennials designed to attract wildlife. There is a strong focus on old roses, which are planted throughout the entire garden, and which have been rooted mostly by the owner. There is also a woodland garden filled with many natives and wildflowers.
Persons associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis Hunt (former owners, 1948-1956); Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Blalock (former owners, 1956-1960); Mr. and Mrs. William J. Murray (former owners, 1960-1990); and George S. Betsill (landscape architect, 1961).

General:
The French Broad River Garden Club sponsored a project to help women with limited incomes conserve and utilize native plant materials to create and market Christmas decorations. Because of its charitable and educational activities, the Club won "foundation" status. Land was purchased in 1958, and an old log cabin was re-erected on the property to house this expanding industry. A small log cabin was added to the property in 1960. A tool shed and green house were added in 1965 and 1967; and a large log cabin was added as a meeting space in 1971. In 1990, the gardens were torn up and re designed and the buildings were moved because the adjacent highway was widened. "Theme" herb gardens were created by club members as a part of this new design. Themes include medicinal, Biblical, fragrance, industrial and dye garden, and Cherokee. The gardens are maintained in a cooperative effort by the club members.They are now used to share ideas and techniques for gardening as well as to demonstrate the many uses of plants. The gardens continue to support the Foundation in its endeavor charitable contributions through sales of plants and plant material.
Persons and organizations associated with the site include: Julia M. Ruland (former owner, ? to 1910); E. A. Hess and wife (former owners, 1910-1956); J. A. Coston and wife (former owners, 1956-1958); S. C. Dean (former owner, May 1958-August 1958); French Broad River Garden Club Foundation, Inc.
