Locust Valley Cemetery (Locust Valley, New York)

United States of America -- New York -- Nassau County -- Locust Valley

Scope and Contents:

The garden file includes a work sheet, brochure, copy of plant list from 1931, copy of plan, and features plan plus 8 35mm slides.

General:

Locust Valley Cemetery is a private, non-denominational memorial that began with a unique plan over 100 years ago. The Cemetery's 19th century founders conceived of a sanctuary more like a woodland garden. In 1917, Locust Valley Cemetery was incorporated, and a perpetual care fund was established to preserve its natural beauty. A narrow curving road winds through thirty acres of evergreens, hardwoods, and ornamental plantings, which provide visual interest during all seasons. Charles Parker designed private garden rooms for family burials.

Persons and organizations associated with the garden include: Locust Valley Cemetery, INC. (owners, 1917-present); Olmsted Brothers (landscape architects, 1922-1948); Charles Parker (overall planner); Bradley Delehanty (architect of superintendant cottage, 1929); Innocenti & Webel (landscape architects, 1990-present); and James Wellington (landscape architect of sections 3, 4, 5, and Memorial Garden.

General:

Located in Locust Valley, New York, this garden is located on a three-acre property originally part of a larger estate and divided in 1930. Fremont C.

Additional plantings include a pair of distinguished white Beech trees, a pair of European yews 25 feet in diameter, a specimen tulip tree, as well as topiaries and boxwood. Around the perimeter of the property are mountain laurels and rhododendron plantings. Water features include a stream and a small waterfall that empties into one of two small lily ponds. The grounds also include a swimming pool, tool shed, herb garden, cutting garden, wall fountains and sculpture.

The Highlands (Menands, New York)

United States of America -- New York -- Albany County -- Menands

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets, site plans and other information.

General:

Located on 23 acres in the city of Menands, NY the Highlands garden estate was created by the Batcheller family starting in 1927 when they bought the Henry "Heff" Sage estate. The Batcheller's then embarked upon an expansion of the gardens by installing ponds and adding trees and flowers. In 1945 tragedy struck the family when their beloved son was killed in World War II. In dedication to him, the Primrose Path and Garden was created and a statue modeled after St. Francis was placed there to honor him. Near the house the glass enclosed conservatory, with its beautiful tile floor and center fountain housed exotic orchids, camellias and gardenias. Attached to the conservatory, a greenhouse was filled with blooming geraniums, primroses, hyacinths, tulips and snapdragons in preparation for planting.

Outside, a stone terrace enclosed by a yew hedge, a border of roses and two dogwood trees afforded a lovely setting for outdoor dining. Flowering azaleas, rhododendrons and dogwoods framed the large expanse of lawn and led to the Tea House and down the colorful Primrose Path. Several pools, ponds and fountains formed the focal points of both formal and informal gardens. Garden chairs were placed so one can enjoy the tranquil setting.

Throughout all seasons, Highlands was a symphony of horticultural expression. In the spring, flowering azaleas, rhododendrons and dogwoods framed the large expanse of lawns. In the summer, riotous displays of perennials and annuals bloomed in the borders and cutting garden. The flaming red and yellow fall color of maples and dogwoods were followed by the quiet snow-covered landscape in winter. This was a garden created during a period of uncertain economic and political times in American history. While it followed beautiful plans and discipline, the garden was above all a labor of love, a rich horticultural experience and a testament to their creativity and passion for design and gardening to be enjoyed by family and friends.

Persons associated with the garden include: Henry Sage (former owner, unknown-1927); Hiland G. Batcheller (former owner, 1927-1969); Episcopal Dioceses of Albany (former owner, 1969-1982), and Mary K. Nahl (former owner, 1982-1997).

Place:

Feathers (Mill Neck, New York)

United States of America -- New York -- Nassau County -- Mill Neck

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets, photocopies of an article, photocopies of historical records, garden plans, and a title summary for the property.

General:

The formal walled garden at Feathers, created in 1996 by the current owner along with landscape designer Lisa Thompson, is a small part of the six and one-half acre property with the original circa 1730 house. The 31 by 23 foot formal garden is divided into four parterres edged in boxwood with walks made from old bricks to match a standing old brick wall. A pink rose standard grows in the center of each parterre, surrounded by low-growing ground covers and annual flowers such as pansies. The brick wall is covered in climbing hydrangea and clematis, and has three arched doorways that lead into the garden. A bronze sculpture of the owner's son as a child created by his grandmother, Mary Emma Flood (1900-1987), overlooks the garden from a niche in the brick wall.

The spring-fed property overlooks Beaver Lake, where there is a small house and rock and fern garden. There is another garden of perennial and ornamental grasses near the lake, and many mature trees. A brick room next to the main house that held a furnace in earlier days has New Dawn roses trellised on the roof.

Persons associated with the garden include: Charles Wright (former owner and builder of the original house, circa 1730-1741); Isaac Frost and members of the Frost family (former owners, circa 1741-1763); John Underhill and members of the Underhill family (former owners, 1763-1901); Ella Kennard (former owner, 1901); Harvey Murdock and members of the Murdock family (former owners, 1901-1927); Alicia Gamble Ludlow (former owner, 1927-1953); Innis, Helen S., and Blanche S. O'Rourke (former owners, 1953-1973); Harvey L. and Cornelia D. Schwartz (former owners, 1973-1983); David W.C. Clark (former owner, 1983-1987); Norman C. and Kathleen H. Keith (former owners, 1987-1994); Helen Dillon (landscape designer, 1995); Lisa Thompson (landscape designer, 1996); Robert Gahagan (architect of new addition, 1997); Mary Emma Flood (sculptor of bronze statue of child).

This property has been extensively researched for the transfers of title beginning in 1685, when a deed of sale was signed by individuals who were likely Matinecock Indians.

United States of America -- New York -- Dutchess County -- Millbrook

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes correspondence, brief description of garden, articles, notes about slides, exerpt from the Garden Club of America Handbook and information sheet done by GCA researcher.

General:

"This historic eighteenth century residence was deeded by the Crown Grant to the Thornes, a Quaker family and has remained in their possession ever since. It was famed in the nineteenth century for the quality of their breeding cattle and for their standard bred horses."

"It was Mr. Thorne's great grandmother, the late Mrs. Oakleigh Thorne, who was responsible for the planning and planting of Thorndale's gardens which were for many years listed as the most beautiful in the world. The gardens have seen many changes through the years, but are still a beautiful setting for the largest classic white clapboard house with ist huge columns on its portico. The trees, white pine, spruce, red oaks, white oaks, maples and elms have been assiduously tended for decades."

"Most of the gardens are within sight and sound of water. Old stone steps rise from the upper pond's edge to green lawn. A path circles the pool where water-lilies bloom and dogwood and azaleas abound. A swimming pool is passed on the way to the lower pond and water pavilion. The pavilion, designed by Jerome Allen, architect, stands two stories high to command a long vista."

"A stream links the two ponds and is shaded by birch, dogwood and elms. Drifts of daffodils are naturalized in the fields beyond."

"Pierced brick walls with espaliered fruit trees surround the yew garden. Here you will find a great many varieties of taxus and magnificent topiary work. At the entrance to trim paths stand eighteenth century English stone monkeys playing musical instruments."

Mr. and Mrs. Oakleigh Thorne also owned Las Tejas, Santa Barbara, California.

Persons associated with the property include: Edward Van Altena (colorist for lantern slides); Nellie B. Allen (landscape architect); Helen Page Wodell (landscape architect); Jerome Allen (architect); Marian Cruger Coffin (landscape architect); Helen Thorne (former owner); Wodell and Contrell (landscape architect).
