Joseph Chamberlain
laid out the Shrubbery Garden during his 1898 visit to the
Farms. Essentially English in design, the garden contained
exotic plant material much of which was imported from England.
One of the surviving specimens is the monumental cluster of
weeping beech trees. Others included rhododendrons, hemlocks,
forsythia, azaleas, fringe trees, dogwood, spruce, golden chain
tree, flowering crabapples, fir and Japanese maples. |
