The Flower Garden designed in the Italiante style, was laid out by Joseph Chamberlain in 1896. Chamberlain, husband of Mary Endicott, was an influential British politician who visited his wife’s family in 1896 and 1898. As originally designed, the gardens were bordered on the east by a barberry hedge, the north by rustic cedar posts of climbing roses, the south by a rustic cedar pergola, and the west by the buckthorn of the Old Fashioned Garden.
