Kaiserhof (Stockbridge, Massachusetts)

United States of America -- Massachusetts -- Berkshire County -- Stockbridge

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets, site plans, and additional information.

General:

This 19-acre site was established as an orchard in the early 1700s by the Carter family and remained a working farm until after World War II. Former owner James C. Carter built the brick Federal-style house in 1830, which was restored by the current owners, who acquired the property in the early 1980s. New landscaping was also undertaken. Stone walls, heirloom 19th-century apple trees, fields, and lawns were incorporated in the design and connect the various gardens as well as the present to the past. A variety of plantings, from tree and herbaceous peonies to smokebush, mock orange, and hydrangea grace the terrace gardens, while summer gardens feature several varieties of helianthus. The park-like setting is complemented by mature trees and additional older heirloom buildings, such as a late 18th-century blacksmith house now restored as a guest house. The overall effect highlights and enhances the natural topography, history, and beauty of the land and the surrounding Berkshire Hills.

Persons associated with the site include Helga S. Orthofer (landscape designer and photographer, late 1980s to date) and James C. Carter (former owner, 1830).

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets and photocopies of articles about the property.

General:

Major Isaac Hite Jr., who fought with the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and his first wife Eleanor (Nelly) Conway Madison, a sister of President James Madison, built the Federal style house beginning in 1794, using limestone quarried on the 483 acre property. The landscape plan included groves of trees for shade and was influenced by the less formal 18th century English gardens that complement rather than contrast with the natural setting. The fields would have been planted in grain for livestock, including cattle and Merino sheep. During Hite's lifetime the property was expanded to 7,500 acres and included a distillery and several mills. The house has a south façade of dressed limestone, and is in the pavilion style favored by Thomas Jefferson. There are several outbuildings. The only records of the garden show light foundation plantings around the house and a latticework fence.

During the Civil War, Belle Grove Plantation was the setting of the Battle of Cedar Creek on October 19, 1864, in which Union General Philip Sheridan defeated Confederate General Jubal Early.

The Brumback family owned the property from 1907 to 1929. Francis Welles Hunnewell purchased the property in 1929 and bequeathed it to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1964.

In 1983, the Garden Club of Virginia voted to restore the gardens at Belle Grove Plantation, using funds raised in their annual garden walks. The gardens were restored to the style of circa 1820. University of Connecticut Professor Emeritus Rudy J. Favretti (Fellow in the American Society of Landscape Architects) designed the restoration. Restoration included pruning the trees to restore light to the house and open the view of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains and replacing the large foundation plantings including diseased boxwoods with low-growing plants. In addition, an overgrown herb garden was converted to a demonstration garden comprised of plants used in cooking, medicine and commerce in the 19th century, with restored latticework fencing on three sides and post and rail fencing on the fourth side.

Belle Grove Plantation, now 283 acres, is operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and open to the public. Sites on the grounds include the ice house, old hall, dairy, smokehouse, blacksmiths shop, demonstration garden, slave cemetery, and agricultural fields. There is also a library of local, architectural, crafts and agricultural history, and an artifacts collection.

Persons associated with the property include Major Isaac Hite (former owner, 1794-1836) and descendents of the Hite family, the Brumback family (former owner, 1907-1929), Francis Welles Hunnewell (former owner, 1929), Rudy J. Favretti (1983, restoration landscape architect) and the National Trust for Historic Preservation (owner, 1964-present)

The Wave Garden (Richmond, California).

United States of America -- California -- Contra Costa -- Richmond

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets and the features plan for the garden.

General:

Located on approximately 1/3 of an acre, The Wave Garden overlooks San Pablo Bay, part of the San Francisco Bay, in Richmond, California. The owners began construction of the garden in 2007 on a piece of land that was originally a vacant city lot. The Wave Garden is unique because while it is a private garden, it also has a section open to the public which includes an ADA compliant middle pathway. The garden was designed as a work of art, inspired by the work of sculptor Douglas Purdy which is featured in the garden. The winding pathways, platforms, and stairs were created out of textured concrete by artist Victor Armador. The curves of the garden reference the waves of nearby San Pablo Bay. The fencing and ironwork in the garden was designed by blacksmith, Robert Sharpe.

Many of the plants within The Wave Garden are water-efficient. They were selected to be sustainable in the California climate, which has frequent droughts, and also for their contrasting shapes, colors, and heights. Three types of plants in The Wave Garden are California native plants, but most originate from Australia, South Africa, Mexico, or Chile.

Persons associated with the garden include: Victor Amador (concrete artist, 2005- ); Robert Sharpe (blacksmith, 2007-2008); Kellee Adams (gardener, 2007-2008).

General:

Now a public park comprised of walled gardens, memorial plaques, sculpture and open space for town events including the annual Christmas tree the approximately one acre site was developed beginning in 1978. Land was donated to contain memorials for notable colonial Virginians: Colonel James Taylor II and his wife Martha Thompson, who were the great-grandparents of President James Madison, and Lieutenant Governor and explorer Alexander Spotswood (1676-1740). Members of The Dolley Madison Garden Club were instrumental in funding and overseeing the design, donating and planting trees and 4,000 bulbs, and for ongoing upkeep of the gardens every Wednesday for ten years. The Main Street plaza is paved with brick and has brick walls, metal benches, a central round fountain, seasonal planters, ten willow oak trees and a raised bed with dogwood and spring bulbs. Curvilinear gravel paths lead through the Perennial garden planted with ground covers, shrubs and trees. Trees include river birch, hemlock, native and kousa dogwood, tulip poplar, magnolia, red oak, and redbud. Shrubs include azalea, rhododendron, barberry, various hydrangeas, and knock out roses. High brick walls screen out noise and enhance privacy. The Spotswood memorial plaza has plaques on a high brick wall detailing Spotswood's expeditions into the unexplored West and a metal sculpture. There is open space for community gatherings and events, shaded by amur maackia trees. A path through a mounded area planted with large evergreens and understory leads to the South garden, site of the annual community Christmas tree. There is a large metal sculpture of the word LOVE by local blacksmith Stokes of England, a promotion for tourism in the state.

Persons associated with the garden include: Orange County Bicentennial Commission (former owner, 1974- ); Taylor Spotswood Memorial Foundation, Inc. (former owner, 1984- ); Town of Orange (owner, 1997- ); The Resources Group (preliminary park design concept, 1974); Ben Johnson and Robert Fraser, (landscape architects of schematic park design, 1978); John F. James (landscape architect for proposed repaving plan, 2013).

Roseann S. and Robert H. Drucker Residence (Wilmette, Illinois)

United States of America -- Illinois -- Cook County -- New Trier -- Wilmette

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets, site plans for both the old and new gardens, and additional information about the garden. Included in the folder is a copy of the August 2008 cover of "Fine Gardening" which features the Drucker Garden.

General:

The Drucker Garden lies on a one-third acre site and re-creates a typical peaceful English walled garden. It resulted from a total redesign of the property's old garden, including removal of all trees and shrubs except a Copper Beech and a 200-year-old Burr Oak. The new garden design features several "rooms" joined with a bluestone and old brick hardscape, limestone walks, an allée, a sunny border, a woodland shade garden, a formal garden surrounding a lily pond and fountain, a drought garden and a traditional English "yard" for potting and composting. Two additional fountains built into the walls in separate areas of the garden provide different atmospheres for enjoyment. Travels to England by the owners have resulted in the acquisition of appropriate antique and contemporary garden ornaments and other items, including ironwork. Because the garden is small, many dwarf and fastigate trees are used. A front woodland garden incorporates rhododendron, Kalmia latifolia, Pieris japonica and Mahonia aquifolium, along with dogwoods, Sciadopitys verticillata, and Acer palmatum. A collection of dwarf conifers of other species fill antique stone troughs. The garden also includes flower beds and a traditional English border with a large variety of shrubs, perennials, annuals, and a beautiful spring bulb collection. The various walls are covered with an assortment of clematis, roses, and spring-blooming wisteria.

Firms associated with the garden include Douglas Hoerr Landscape Architecture, Inc. (landscape architects, 2002-2003); Kettelkamp & Kettelkamp (landscape architects, 2004 to date); Rocco Fiore & Sons, Inc. (gardeners, 2004 to date); Masonry by Fernando, Inc.

General:

This garden existed from 1991 to 2000, when its owners moved to a new location. A small, charming, l-shaped city garden of 3,000 square feet, it was divided into three "rooms" by hedges, house walls, and gates. It was completely filled with a wealth of plant material, antique pots and urns, architectural fragments, and three fountains. The plantings were "city hardy," and featured magnolia, azalea, ivy, hosta, hydrangea, dogwood, hornbeam, yew, and boxwood. The house, in the "Old Soulard" district, was built in 1870, and the carriage house, formerly a blacksmith's shop, in 1840.

Persons associated with the garden include: Joseph J. Laurinski (former owner, 1991-2000) and Dennis H. Johns (former owner, 1991-2000).
