General:

The 2/3-acre property was overgrown but had towering trees that would be saved and woven into a complex tapestry in a landscape with challenges: dry shade and a downward slope behind the house. The property had passed down in one family from 1897 until 1960, and when the current owners acquired it in 1964 they modernized the entrance to the house, added decks and a brick terrace, and built an outbuilding modeled on a Japanese teahouse. The owner studied and became a landscape architect in 1979 and was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Roberto Burl Marx to integrate the garden and the house. A deck off an upper level faces tall trees and a 120-year-old climbing hydrangea is draped over a pergola on the brick terrace. Finding the existing plants were best adapted to the heavy clay soil they nonetheless have worked in about ninety varieties of native and cultivated trees and shrubs. Perennials and spring bulbs are underplanted in freeform beds with winding pathways, and ground cover plants including invasive goutweed have replaced underperforming grass lawns.

The teahouse was used by growing children for sleep overs, and to entertain friends. It has its own garden with ferns, iris, daylilies, Japanese weeping cherry, kousa dogwood, conifers, and a footbridge over a recirculating stream and fishpond. A bamboo grove is contained by sunken metal barriers that go more than a foot into the ground. Ground covers in the teahouse garden include silver lace, lily of the valley, vinca and mosses.

Statues and sculptures are placed to denote different rooms in this woodland garden. The plant selection, especially perennials, bulbs and flowering azalea and rhododendron add pops of color throughout the year. To maintain the garden a mixture of compost, cow manure and evergreen fertilizer is applied throughout in early May, with bulb booster included where needed.

Persons associated with the garden's design: Louesa Gillespie (1962- ) and Martin Mace, consultant (1962-1977).

River Bend (River Bend, Wisconsin)

United States -- Wisconsin -- Milwaukee -- River Bend

Scope and Contents:

33 digital images (2011. 2022-2023) and 1 digital file folder.

Biographical / Historical:

The owner's garden-related activities include leadership roles in garden clubs and nature centers. She championed, established and led Milwaukee's Urban Ecology Center where children and adults can partake in environmental education and outdoor experiences.

General:

River Bend had five acres of Milwaukee River frontage, a house built in the 1970s and fields and former cow pastures when the owners bought the property in 1990. They embarked on an extensive project of landscape and garden design that included installing a swimming pool, tennis court, perennial and native plant gardens, and two ponds with a connecting waterfall. Due to the high clay content of the soil the ponds were engineered to accept and recirculate run-off water, with additional run-off channeled to the river. The tennis court was sited on a higher elevation, and dirt excavated during construction of the pool and ponds was used to build berms for privacy. The house is approached from a curved driveway landscaped with rolling berms planted with green ash, blue spruce, honey locust and maple with under-plantings of lilies, spirea, lilac, hydrangea and lamium. The circle in front of the house has another green ash, river birch, maple and pots of purple petunias. An arbor with a honeysuckle vine over a bluestone path accesses the gardens and features behind the house.

The first summer garden has echinacea, phlox, daisies and wild geranium, and another perennial garden planted on a berm across the lawn has Joe Pye weed, yarrow, sage, astilbe, salvia, and many colorful annuals perennials. The multi-level terrace enclosed by three wings of the house is used for dining and entertaining with black wrought iron tables and chairs, black and white upholstery, and many pots of colorful annuals. A gingko tree grows on a bluestone and brick deck, with planted pots of geraniums that are wintered over in the greenhouse. Steps lead to the swimming pool, followed by an expansive lawn for outdoor activities, another furnished terrace outside the tennis court, and a pergola covered with wisteria.

The lower pond has a sandy beach and pier with a bench, with willow, olive and highbush cranberry planted around the perimeter. The upper pond is bordered by roses, iris, weigela and a native garden along with fieldstone boulders around the perimeter. Boulders in the waterfall were placed so the falling water creates a pleasing sound. The ponds were home for two swans and their offspring for many years. A buried pump recirculates water from the lower to the upper pond so the water does not become stagnant. A greenhouse with skylights and large windows is attached to the house, used for wintering over as well as starting seeds for zucchini, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other summer vegetables for a fenced ten by twenty-two- foot vegetable garden. Finally the property is bordered by woodlands with many trees with spectacular fall color.

Scope and Contents:

17 digital images (2017-2018, 2020) and 1 file folder (digital).

General:

The owners purchased a partially wooded, abandoned and overgrown farmland lot in 2001 and built their stone façade house, then purchased two more lots for a total of 9.5 acres, then built gardens. The gardens include a two-acre native plant meadow with prairie tallgrass and flowers, an extensive shrub and tree border with native Ohio types, a wetlands garden, a 40-foot-square vegetable garden, foundation gardens and terrace gardens near the house. Several types of stone were used for raised beds, edging, dry creek beds, and the wetlands garden. There is a custom pergola, bluestone terrace, and a New England style barn built in 2005. The vegetable garden located behind the barn has pea stone paths, eight raised beds, a cold frame, and a stone birdbath. The wetlands were excavated with engineering to direct the excess water flow and a well to provide water during dry spells. A boardwalk, pea gravel and grass paths lead around the property. The ash trees in the wooded areas were removed due to emerald ash borer and replaced with sugar maple. Chinese seven-sons are one of the few non-native species planted in the woodland garden.

The wetlands garden and two-acre native meadow or tallgrass prairie garden were created by native plant experts who collected and propagated seeds. A large burr oak was planted as a sentinel in the tallgrass prairie garden. Other features include a great blue heron weathervane atop the barn and a sculpture in the wetlands garden of the owners' golden retriever and barn cat.

Persons associated with the garden's design: Jason Andrew ( landscape architect, 2003-2012); Lewis Landscaping (landscape contractor, 2003-2023); Don Beam, native plant expert (2007-2012); Guy Denny, native plant expert (2013); Jennifer Windus, native plant expert (2013)

General:

A 1922 Tudor-style house with three acres, listed on the National Historic Register, required extensive renovation by the current owners to preserve the original craftsmanship. The grounds were in need of reconditioning as well, including an original Japanese garden whose pond had to be re-dug, rocks repositioned, and plantings restored with more than 40 different Japanese maple trees. Landscape architect Craig Kiest's (ASLA) plan includes garden rooms, paths and hardscape, described by the owner as a classic design that features their plant collections. A circular driveway in front of the house surrounds a boxwood knot garden punctuated with container plantings. The uphill walk to the garden runs along a wall with espaliered camellias and is overlooked by a balcony for viewing the knot garden that has a wrought iron railing assembled from old gates found on the property. A serpentine rose border with more than one hundred plants is a colorful connector along the back driveway between the house and garage. An orchard, perennial bed, soccer field and upper lawn are arrayed between the house and the streets that border this corner lot.

Several bluestone terraces with stone steps and balustrades accommodate the terrain behind the house and lead to a formal garden that is on an axis with the dining room. A pergola planted with wisteria japonica crosses the entrance to the formal garden. In this garden surrounded by a hedge of holly there are boxwood parterres centered by a circular patch of lawn with an enormous restored stone planter with white Iceland roses and white alyssum in the summer. Large cast iron planters on bluestone platforms contain Japanese maples. The formal garden terminates in a seating area backed by a semi-circle of four columns and an old planting of English holly. Other features include a grotto with granite semi-circular steps and a grindstone, a wall fountain with a bronze frog, and an Italianate cobblestone patio with beds of hydrangea. Frogs and dragonflies are recurring motifs in the iron hardware on the buildings and in garden ornaments. Flowering vines and container gardens, climbing roses, and a rose and wild geranium parterre add color to the vigorous greenery that grows in this favorable climate.

The Japanese garden features the colorful Japanese maple tree collection and a pond stocked with koi. Additional trees from the earlier garden include copper beech, gingko, and Japanese umbrella pine. There is a raised vegetable garden for berries, grapes, pumpkins and artichokes with a custom made wooden fence, and wooded areas underplanted with hosta and other shade-tolerant perennials. A large lawn bisecting these forests leads to a rectangular reflecting pool with a colonnade that was found buried in an old laurel hedge on the property and restored.

Persons associated with the garden include Percy Smith family (former owners, 1922-1994); Craig Kiest, ASLA (landscape architect, 1997-1999); Dave Sexton (gardener, 1999-present)

Biographical / Historical:

After Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James's deaths, the gardens, with their pergolas, pools, and walls, fell into disrepair, ravaged by time and invasive trees and shrubs. The estate was subdivided into 3.25-acre parcels in the 1970s, and sold by developers as single home sites—with the remnants of the Blue Garden on one of the sites. Through the generosity of Dorrance H. Hamilton, a Newport summer resident, philanthropist, and garden enthusiast, the Blue Garden was rescued from its demise and rebuilt in 2014. A team, led by Parker Construction, Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architects, and Arleyn A. Levee, Olmsted Historian, restored the garden to its former glory, using as reference original Olmsted plans, drawings, photographs, and correspondence from the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site, the Library of Congress, the Archives of American Gardens, and the Redwood Library, among other repositories. As the name suggests, the Blue Garden incorporates a palette of blues early in the season and transitions to lavender blues and purples, with touches of white, as the summer progresses. Over 250 evergreen trees and flowering shrubs enclose the garden, and contribute to its designation as an arboretum. The Blue Garden is known today as a classic example of American landscape art and a triumph of historic preservation. The garden is open for tours on Thursdays from mid-June through early October. Photographs of the restoration and information are available at thebluegarden.org.

General:

"There is an austere elegance about a green garden; pink or yellow or red are frivolous except as accents, but the garden that appeals to the romantic, universal soul is the blue garden. That is why the Blue Garden of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James was the ultimate goal of so many Newport Pilgrims. A very stately garden it is with the iridescent quality which blue flowers that really are mauve and purple and grayish, rather than true, sharp blue, impart. Its irregular symmetry makes it difficult to describe without a ground plan. At the two far distant ends are colonnades with gray rocks and irregular green plantations beyond, and the lower end is a circle of matchless turf whose boundary is rock and shrubs. The upper part is a circle, too, formed by a rustic lattice of slender split branches over which grow Clematis Jackmanii, mauve Sweet-peas and other charming creepers, backed by Cedars and Pines. In the center are two pools fed by water that trickles from beneath the colonnade."

"A thousand foot rose garden was blasted out of granite rock. A long grass allee originated by the reflecting pool, was planted with 5,000 roses of many varieties. The allee ascended several levels of stone walls and steps and climaxed under a high granite cliff, where a splendid stone and ironwork balustrade and imposing pergola were located. Mr. James died in 1942, all the roses were dug and sold and nature moved in to sow her seeds."

Persons associated with the property include: Arthur Curtiss James (former owner, 1909-1940); Olmsted Brothers (landscape architects); John Greatorex (superintendent of grounds and landscape gardener); Harriet R. Foote (garden designer and rosarian); Peckham Brothers (contractors for rose garden); Hempstead of Boston (landscape contractors/superintendent); Edward Van Altena (lantern slide maker).

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes a worksheet, a property plan, and additional information about the Olmsted design and the restoration of the garden.

General:

This four-acre garden is the north section of the extensive rose garden of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James laid out on Beacon Hill between granite ridges beginning in 1921. The original, larger James estate was subdivided in the late 20th century. After 1981 the current owner restored many architectural features, including masonry pillars, walls, steps, and balustrades, some ironwork, and the pergola beams. Missing garden ornaments were replaced. The formality of the axial features has been retained, and new plantings of hybrid roses and climbers around these are in the spirit of the original lavish rose garden. Horticultural interest and variety are given by informal plantings at the edge of the lawns and on the rocks.

Persons, organizations, and firms associated with the garden include: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James (former owners, 1910-1941); the James Foundation of New York (former owner, 1942-1951); the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rhode Island (former owner, 1951-1973); Brainerd Snelling Trustees and the James Trust (former owners, 1973-1978); Castle Hill Construction (Tom Cullen) (former owner, 1978-1981); and Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects (landscape architects, 1921-).

United States of America -- Rhode Island -- Washington County -- South Kingston -- Matunuck

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets and photocopies of original plants lists and orders.

General:

Croftmere's sunken garden has been restored to the Arts & Crafts style designed in 1915 by landscape architect Sibley C. Smith. Adjacent to the 1906 wood shingle-style house the 44 by 74 feet garden room is part of an eight acre property that was part of a larger tract divided in the early 1900s among family members. The sunken garden is entered by descending three rough cut granite steps and surrounded on three sides by crisscross cedar fencing set on stone walls and supported by rough stone columns. At the far end of the garden room steps lead to a stone pergola draped with roses and wisteria. Small millstones are used for tables and a large one is sited on the grass terrace between the house and garden. A rectangular stone-lined lily pond with its original fountain is in the center of the garden room and deep beds of perennial flowers have been planted between the fences and the lawn as part of the restoration. Trimmed boxwood and viburnum, clematis and roses grow on the terrace and on an arbor alongside the house.

Persons associated with the garden include members of the Cocroft family since 1906; Walter G. Sheldon (1855-1931) (architect, 1906); Sibley C. Smith, ASLA (landscape architect, 1915); Carder Whaley (garden installation, 1916); Linda Lapin (restoration garden designer, 2000); Brenda McCloskey (gardener, 2005- ); Glen McCluster (fence restoration, 2015).
