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. Current photo of the Flower Garden
fountain. |
