Place:
Schuylkill River Park Community Garden (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
United States of America -- Pennsylvania -- Philadelphia County -- Philadelphia
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a work sheet, narrative description, copy of newsletter (Center City Residents' Association, February 2005), and site plan.
General:
In what was originally the Kelly Brickyard, an original community garden thrives today. In 1981, an organized group of neighbors petitioned the city for permission to use the vacated lot for gardening. The city of Philadelphia, under Mayor Wilson Goode, approved the construction budget for a community garden designed by landscape architect John Hough, inlcuding a pergola, walkways, fountain, iron fencing, and gates.After entering, the visitor proceeds down a long allee lined with sour cherry trees. The walkway leads to a central pergola with a cistern fountain enclosed by a trellis covered with four different kinds of grape vines. There are 72 raised bed plots of various sizes. "Tomato Lane," a 27 x 2 foot swath of land for tomato plants, was added in 2006.
Persons and organizations associated with the garden include: City of Philadelphia (owner, 1981-present); Center City Residents Association (managers, 1981-present); John Hough (landscape architect, 1981); and Greg and Lil Leavitt (sculptors, 1981-1982).

Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets, photocopies of articles and other information.
General:
La Petite Maison is a formal garden established in 2001 on a half-acre property with the colors of the flowers and decorative elements limited to blue and white. Both the house and garden reflect French style, with lacy cast iron trim reminiscent of New Orleans. Nikko blue hydrangeas, liriope, hosta and nepeta provide the blue tones in the garden, which also features phlox, clematis, lilacs, boxwood and arborvitae. There are two terraces for entertaining, one at ground level with a fountain and one for dining off the upper story. A round mirror set in a wall at one end of the garden adds depth. A large stone urn is planted with euonymus and English ivy is another feature.
Persons associated with the garden include Jack Mullens (former owner, 1947); Stewart Cohen (former owner, 1958-1960); Brenda Litman (former owner, 1960-1978); Murray Litman (former owner, 1978-2000); Brandon Smith (architect, 1947); Ron Kotcho (landscape designer, beginning in 2001).

The Garden of the Enlightened Client (Newport, Rhode Island)
Scope and Contents:
12 digital images (2020,2022).
General:
The Garden of the Enlightened Client is located in Newport, Rhode Island. Established in 2005, the 0.11-acre property features a small urban garden with a Moon Gate and "jigsaw" of closely planted trees and shrubs that create a series of rooms.

Seen from the street are a Chinese-inspired, custom-built fence and a haze of cascading roses and viburnums. The garden proceeds from the public to the private in three rooms. The first room is the sunniest and most public room containing the vegetable garden. Beyond a cloud pruned boxwood, the second room features the owner's collection of roses and conifers. Most notable are a 90-year-old Elsie Paulson floribunda inherited from a grandmother, and a rare weeping Parrotia. With a pea stone river of paving, the second room evokes Japanese gardens. The paving continues to a Moon Gate, flanked by two large stone urns containing a petite gardenia and a Japanese maple.

The Moon Gate opens to a private third room containing a lawn and outbuilding. The lawn is framed by a wall of clumping bamboo, a stand of the Stewartia trees, a weeping hemlock and a 40 feet Sweet Gum Tree. One corner of the room is filled by a weeping Katsura tree. A brick piazza is shaded by hops climbing the roof supports of the outbuilding with serves as a library and guesthouse.

Persons associated with the garden's design: Tanya Kelley (Landscape Designer, 2005).
Provenance:
The Newport Garden Club facilitated the 2022 garden documentation.

Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets, site plans, photocopies of articles about the project, and other information.
General:
Located on approximately five acres, June House gardens have been constructed in sympathy with the natural topography of the land and with respect to the plant communities employed. The goal has been to create a balance between traditional styles of gardening and plant community-based landscaping.
Silas June (1753-1832), for whom this property is named, built the main house in 1797. There are many rock outcroppings and few broadly flat areas on this land. The woodland areas are largely second or third growth, indicating the property had been cleared of trees in Silas' day.
There were no ornamental gardens when the present owners moved to June House in April, 1977 so they started to develop the immediate area around the main house and carriage house by putting a shady border perennial bed in between the two houses and named it "Valley Garden." In 1984, the owners constructed a terracing and stone retaining wall by the swimming pool with rock used from the construction of the pool in 1960 then planted apple trees, a sunny perennial bed and apiary. An increase in deer browse by 1990 prompted the enclosure of over 4 acres with a deer fence. By 1992, the owners decided major work needed to be done around the two houses and professional design assistance was needed. Landscape architect, Dickson DeMarche was asked to create a master plan and managed the installation of designs over the ensuing three years. The Overlook Garden and the Arbor House by the swimming pool was added in 1994 and an enclosed vegetable and herb garden with raised beds and pergola was completed in 1995.
With the millennium came renewed efforts to enhance the property. A prominent rocky promontory named "Mole Mountain" was stripped in 2002 of unwanted plants growing on it and xeriscaped by landscape desiger, Michael Harvey. A wildflower meadow seed mix was then planned and installed along the north face of Mole Mountain by Larry Weaner of Larry Weaner Landscape Design Associates in collaboration with Harvey. In 2003, the owners along with Harvey turned their attention to the south of "Mole Mountain" for the installation of an Alpine/Conifer Garden using H. Lincoln Foster's Rock Gardening (Houghton Mifflin Co., 1968) as a guide. In 2004, a bridge designed by Dickson DeMarche (landscape designer), was constructed joining the barn with the top of "Mole Mountain" and a butterfly garden was designed and planted by the owners south of the croquet/tennis courts. From 2005 to present day many projects were started and not yet completed or will continue to be refined. Such projects include a shade garden under the bridge, conifer grove and southwest shrub border, woodland garden trails, Metasequoia grove and a meditation garden. The owners are "hands on" gardeners; they do a significant amount of the planning, planting and maintenance themselves.
Persons associated with the garden include Slias June (former owner, 1797-date unknown); Dickson DeMarche, (landscape architect, 1992-1995, 2004); Larry Weaner of Larry Weaner Landscape Design Associates, (landscape designer, 2002); Michael P. Harvey, (landscape designer, 2002-2005) and Lori Chips of Oliver Nurseries, (garden designer, 2003).
Additional materials on the June House can be found at the Stamford Historical Society. More information about the landscape designs of Dickson DeMarche can be found in the archives of the Laurel Rock Company.
