United States of America -- Ohio -- Franklin County -- Columbus
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets and other information including a copy of a Sessions Village sales brochure from 1927.
General:
Located on ten acres, Sessions Village is divided into twenty-nine plots with freestanding homes. It is part of a huge plot of land owned by Francis Sessions who, in 1927, formed a corporation to build the village. Inspired by the French Norman village style, architect Robert Reeves, Sr. designed this self-contained community in its entirety. It is enclosed by high garden walls planted with gray beech, oaks, and elm trees that offer privacy from nearby development. Archways and shrubbery accent the gated entrance. Once inside the gated entry, stucco, half-timber, brick, stone, slate and wrought iron are used to the best possible effect. Some notable features include houses with high, pitched roofs and picturesque chimneys, diamond paned windows, walled gardens, formal courtyard entrances, and narrow paths to rear gardens and narrow streets edged with cobblestone. The community features common areas for residents including a pond and garden.
Persons associated with the site include: Duane W. Fulton, J. M. Rankin and Webb I. Vorys (developers, 1927); Robert Reeves, Sr. (architect, 1929-1937); Robert Reeves, Jr. (architect, 1937); and Carl R. Frye (landscape architect, 1928).
There is additional documentation of other gardens in Sessions Village. See OH226000 and OH231000-235000.

The Meadow Club of Southampton (Southampton, New York)
United States of America -- New York -- Suffolk County -- Southhampton
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets, site plans, and other information.
General:
Located on eighteen plus acres The Meadow Club, founded in 1887, is a private tennis club where the gardens link the clubhouse and dining rooms with the thirty-six grass courts. The garden was established in 1902 with a footprint that is basically rectangular in shape, echoing the geometry of both the tennis courts and the clubhouse. The layout of the perennial and annual garden beds is described as "curvilinear."
A tightly clipped privet hedge in the "English Style," defines the gardens. An ovoid arrangement of Pee Gee hydrangeas, truncated in size and with trunks knotted and gnarled by weather and age, is the central focus. An archway punctuating the privet hedge is both functional and aesthetic. It provides a charming entry into the gardens from the tennis courts and, viewed from the clubhouse, focuses one's eye on the grass courts beyond. The "bones" of the gardens are the privet, hydrangeas and other perennial shrubs that thrive in the seaside environment situated 200 yards from the Atlantic Ocean. They serve as a backdrop for an annual border that is bold and distinctive in color, texture and shape.
Persons associated with the garden include: Arthur Fraser, architect (1992-present), Joseph Czelatka, grounds superintendent (1979-present).

United States of America -- Tennessee -- Hamilton County -- Lookout Mountain
Scope and Contents:
This file contains 18 digital images and 1 folder.
General:
This ¾ acre property, established in 1997, is positioned on a bluff that overlooks the Tennessee River and Smokey Mountains and contains multi-level gardens. It features a grand Arts and Crafts, Tudor style home that had belonged to one of the owner's family and was sold in the 1950s. When the current owners acquired the property, they had to irradicate invasive species such as English ivy, Japanese Honeysuckle, Wisteria, and Euonymus that covered the bluffside. The flat front yard is lined by a well-maintained hedge and floral beds. A stone walkway flanked with flower beds leads from the house to the backyard. A shrub-lined archway also acts as an entryway to the backyard. The back of the property is lined with curving flowerbeds containing vibrant purple and yellow flowers, with dense woodlands on either side. The sloped lot has various tiers containing beds of native and perennial shrubs and bulbs lined with a stacked stone border. The main focal points of the property are its astonishing views, the stone staircase that leads down to different levels of the property, and modern stone sculptures throughout the gardens. One stone sculpture is positioned on a stope outcrop at the bluff's edge.
Persons associated include: James C. R. Laney (garden designer, 1997-2020); Margaret J. Laney (garden designer, 1997-2020)
