General:
The Teviot Farm house, part of which is an old quarry man's stone house, is situated on a west-facing hillside that slopes down to the North Branch of the Raritan River. The river view is the focal point of the house and gardens. The original landscape plan with walls, pergolas, and terraces, as well as much of the foundation planting, still existed unchanged in 1994. On a lower level, an English-type informal curving path with perennial borders leads from the pergola past a tool shed to the top of an old quarry and on into the woods. On the west, the large porch opens on a narrow grass terrace with two old maple trees edged by a low box hedge. A grass path below goes from the rose garden around to the south side of the house overlooking a pasture field which runs along the river.

Christina's Garden (Gladstone, New Jersey)
United States of America -- New Jersey -- Somerset -- Gladstone
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets and an article.
General:
The two-acre garden with rustic features was built beginning in 1996 on a site with many challenges: wetlands restrictions on most of their entire 23-1/3 acre property; compacted soil and fill dirt with a high pH around their newly constructed Arts and Crafts style house; a steep difference in elevation between the building and the ground; and surrounding woodlands populated by deer, fox and wild fowl that would feast on whatever native and other ornamentals the owners planted. The owners wanted a low maintenance naturalistic style garden with minimal walls and terraces that would sustain the local ecology and conservation value of their property. The resulting garden with seven different defined rooms evolved over the next twelve years. Deer fencing was installed around one acre with rustic arbors and gates. Maple, boxwood and a crabapple allée where planted at the entry court. Next the meadow along the drive to the house was planted with a wildflower mix; deer ate most of the flowers and left the grasses which, with the addition of 1000 daffodil bulbs, provide three seasons of interest. The deer garden and shade garden has eight-foot tall fencing disguised by ornamental screens, low boxwood hedges, perennials beds and ferns. The courtyard and lilac terrace with a water feature has low shrubs planted along the walls, and hardscape built for the transition from the higher elevation of the house to the landscape. Viburnum under planted with liriope softens the staircase from the house while stachys and heucheras soften rough stone walls. In addition to the tank style water feature there is a small greenhouse with a butterfly, herb and small vegetable garden close to the house. Below the two terraces a rockery was installed on the steep slope that was paved with boulders and stepping stones leaving space for stabilizing plants including miniature forsythia, Japanese maple, hemlock, bearberry, lady's mantle and columbine. The Zen garden has stacked stones on a bed of grass shaded by tupelo and surrounded by red twig dogwood and hydrangea that screen the deer fence.
There is a moonlight garden below the lower terrace planted with trees and shrubs that have white flowers or gray foliage to capture the shimmer of lights from the moon and the pool. Elms that did not survive were replaced by oak trees and the perennials, grasses and ground covers planted between rough stones have included white Echinacea, liatris, nicotiana, nigella, phlox and thyme that thrive depending on the increasing level of shade and depredations by groundhogs. The raised beds in the cottage garden were intended for cutting flowers and some vegetables but after the groundhogs invaded they were planted with peonies and raspberry brambles, shaded by ironwood. The trees in the native shrub border were planted to create habitat and include buckeye, pepperbush, winterberry, dogwood, and redwood. Another allée of redbud leads out of the garden towards the fire pit that overlooks the woodlands, wetlands and one of the streams on the property. The owner's hand has not stopped here as the woodlands also have been restored by removing invasive vines and shrubs and planting more native shrubs and trees. Wetlands plantings included sycamore, alder, and river birch to help stabilize storm water runoff. Ornamental oat grass was planted to compete with invasive stilt grass, while a grove of native paw paw has yet to fruit.
Persons associated with the garden include William and Betty Turnbull and Turnbull family members (former owners, 1800's-); Fred Spicer (landscape architect, 1996-1997); Ron Enyingi (landscaper, 1997-2001); Romancing the Woods (rustic arbors, 1998-2001); Steve Lambert (landscaper, 2004-2010).

United States of America -- New Jersey -- Mercer County -- Lambertville
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets, plant lists, and photocopies of articles .
General:
An historic New Jersey dairy farm was divided into two ten acre properties about 40 years ago, with one containing the house and this one containing two massive stone barns.The barns were converted into livable structures by subsequent owners, with the completion of the house and installation of the gardens surrounding it commencing in 1998. Now there are five distinct garden areas: the driveway and front circle planted with low maintenance shrubs; the front courtyard which is protected by an extensive cedar trellis style fence and features shade plants in chartreuse, dark green and maroon; the back patio along the barn wall with the dining area, fire pit, a dogwood tree espaliered against the barn wall, and a stone ruin that is a wind block; the swimming pool surrounded by ornamental grasses that grow tall enough to give privacy; and a natural pond with the native plants augmented with grasses and yellow water iris.
Among the challenges faced by landscape designers Chris Pugliese and Jonathan Alderson were an extensive native deer population, compacted clay soil from the days when livestock lived in the barn, the massive scale of the converted barns, and converting an entirely exposed property into gardens and outdoor entertaining rooms. Their solutions included planting trees near the house for shade including fast growing river birches, honey locust and magnolias, designing the fence and ruin to define garden rooms and offer protection from the deer and other elements, planting ornamental grasses and other species that deer do not eat, and sinking the garden areas down steps, again to keep out the deer. The compacted soil was removed and replaced with ten inches of mushroom compost.
The massive two-story stone dairy barn has been balanced with large-scale containers including an oil jar and by allowing ivy planted along the side path to climb and soften the façade. The front courtyard and back patio floor are dry laid blue stone that allows small plants to grow between the stones. The height of the trellis fence is staggered so it does not appear to cut the house off from the rest of the property.
Persons associated with the garden include: Bob Waligunda (former owner, 1970-1994); Robert Dunham (former owner, 1994-1996); Mr. and Mrs. Keith Coleman (former owners, 1996-1998); Maximillian Hayden (architect, 1996); Chris Pugliese, ASLA (landscape architect, 1998-2000); Jonathan Alderson, ASLA (landscape architect, 1998-2000); Bill Dear (landscape designer, 2009- ).

Place:
Campion Gardens (Madison, New Jersey)
United States of America -- New Jersey -- Morris County -- Madison
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets and planting lists.
General:
The earliest plantings at Campion Gardens, mature trees along the property lines including a European cut leaf birch and a pin oak, predate the 1950 construction of the Georgian Colonial house designed by Drake and Totthill Associates. Since that time the one and one-tenth acre property has been planted with a lavish 50-foot long peony bed at the front of the house, another long curving flower bed planted with ornamental grasses, perennial flowers and annual petunias, a boxwood knot garden for herbs, and foundation plantings of flowers and shrubs. The unique potting shed, sunroom and west wing of the house were added in the 1990s, designed by architect Patrick J. Burke.
There are three brick patios and brick walkways on the property, with a cinder path edged with mature hydrangeas leading to a secret garden behind the potting shed, to be enjoyed from a Chippendale-style bench. Landscape architect Brigitte M. Burke has worked on the property periodically since 1990, adding two small round brick patios, the flower beds on the north side of the house, the herbal knot garden, and a small entrance garden at the front door of the house comprised of a semi-circle of boxwoods with seasonal plantings of annual flowers.
The peony border near the front door is planted with 40 varieties of peonies mixed with iris, roses, candytuft, lilies, Shasta daisies, and the groundcover lamium. As flower beds around the patios became shaded hydrangeas replaced roses, and as deer encroached on the property ferns replaced hostas.
Persons associated with the garden include Drake and Totthill Associates (architects and engineers, 1950); Patrick J. Burke (architect for additions to house and potting shed, 1990 and 1994); Brigitte M. Burke, CLA (landscape architect, 1990-2007).

Archival materials
Place:
Sweeney Gardens (Madison, New Jersey)
United States of America -- New Jersey -- Morris -- Madison
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets.
General:
Sweeney Gardens were re-established in 2008 after the house was renovated and a large deck was added. The distinct garden areas covering 0.7 acres include the garden next to the street that is bisected by a brick walkway which leads to a foundation garden in front of the house and a woodland garden with bordering woodlands behind the house. The challenges for this three-quarter acre property include exposure to deer incursions and the incompatibility of the mature black walnut trees in the woodlands garden with many other plant materials. The primary colors in the gardens in front of the house are blue-purples, purples with contrasting yellow, found in giant alliums, blue hill salvia, irises, yarrow, and nepeta with touches of pink provided by oenethera. Other deer resistant plants used in and alongside the shady woodland garden include lady's mantle, spiderwort, ajuga, hakone grass, lamb's ear, bleeding heart, brunnera macrophylla, creeping Jenny, grape hyacinth, bugbane, ginger and ferns. Hostas are planted for their variety of shapes and colors and are kept sprayed with deer repellent.
The owners' next project will be surrounding the gardens with deer fencing.
Persons associated with the garden include Thomas Oberschmidt (landscape designer, 2008).

United States of America -- New Jersey -- Morris County -- Madison
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets and photocopies of articles.
General:
This secret garden lies behind an arched doorway in the high stucco wall that surrounds the 1.5 acre property that includes a 1910 English revival house with large Tudor style chimneys. The current garden that was conceived and installed in 2008 has four planting beds surrounded by hedges with a grass walkway down the center with a large fountain feature. The formality of the design was softened by the cool color scheme of perennials and flowering shrubs planted within the enclosed beds, including peonies and knockout roses. Trellises along the high walls support climbing roses while other trellises at the back of the house support morning glories. Mature trees and shrubs from earlier gardens on the site provide shade, including two crab apple trees growing in the back beds. A circular garden in front of the house also was replanted in soft shades that compliment the blue stucco building.
Persons associated with the garden include: James and Margeretta Webb (owners of the land); Mr. and Mrs. George Davidson (former owners, 1909-1925); Frederick and Carrie Sperry Beinecke (former owners, 1925-1949); Drew University (former owner, 1949-1953); Harrie Lindeberg (1879-1959) and John F.

Kerkeslager Gardens (Madison, New Jersey)
United States of America -- New Jersey -- Morris County -- Madison
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets and photocopies of articles.
General:
Kerkeslager Gardens is primarily English in style with 15 distinct areas on about two-thirds acre with a brick Georgian colonial house built in the 1930s, straight brick pathways and patios, and a glass conservatory near the kitchen. The path into the garden from the garage is comprised of irregular flagstones, with borders of herbaceous perennials and ground covers that lead to a greenhouse surrounded by garden beds. Containers planted with citrus trees winter over in the greenhouse and are brought out in summer to the surrounding Italian-influenced garden room. Further on there are deep borders planted with perennials, trees, shrubs and climbing vines that are viewed from serpentine gravel paths. Trellises for roses, climbing hydrangea and clematis on the sides of the garage and garden shed add verticality. This contrasts with the brick hardscape on the formal side of the back garden that echoes the symmetrical design of the house. The formal side starts at the English conservatory outside the kitchen with all the bricked areas on a straight axis leading to the pergola. It has two patios with different styles of furniture, a formal garden with an armillary sphere in the center with four symmetrical flower beds, an arbor gate leading to the next room, and culminates in a large pergola. Installation of the Kerkeslager Gardens began in 1988 by replacing lawn and weed trees, but the area was tilled and left unplanted for two years while the soil was amended to support the lush growth now featured.
In the early twentieth century this property was part of a tennis club, later subdivided for housing. The current owners renovated the house to add larger windows and the glass conservatory from which they can view most of the garden. An herb garden that they considered mandatory was planted near the house and bordered by low boxwoods and roses, and more herbs are planted in pots lining the staircase. A turnaround adjoining the driveway is bordered by large lightweight containers planted with sedum and ornamental grasses.
Persons associated with the garden include: Anne Butterworth Sherman (former owner until 1952); Paul and Mary Dimmock (former owners, 1952 - 1970); Colin and Ellen Browning (former owners, 1970 - 1986); Wesketch Architecture (renovator of house, 1999 - 2000); Brigitte Burke, ASLA (landscape architect, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1996, 2012).
