White Leopard Garden (Berwyn, Pennsylvania)
Scope and Contents:
26 digital images (2021-2023) and 1 file folder
General:
The design of the 1.25-acre property including the Cotswold style house was the work of landscape architect Thomas Warren Sears (1880-1966) for a previous owner, circa 1930s to 1940s. The streetside house on a corner lot was originally a stable that had been converted into a studio. Sears added tall walls along the streets and fenced the entire property. The current owner bought the property in 1953, adding and enlarging rooms and the terrace. There have not been many changes to Sears' garden design since then. That design includes a tennis court, a swimming pool and pool house, a cobblestone parking area, a small greenhouse, and a large well in the middle of the garden that had to be rebuilt. A thorny hawthorn next to the terrace was removed and a gingko that died was replaced with a zelkova. The rhododendron Sears planted along a sunny wall did not thrive and were replaced with leather leaf viburnum. There was a cutting garden with cold frames below the tennis court that was replanted with bulbs. A cherry tree and two ilex were planted by the front door to the house along with camelias, white azaleas and native rhododendron.

The owner prefers a green landscape of trees, shrubs, bulbs and ground covers to a flower garden, and has punctuated the landscape with sculpture. Featured in this garden are a large kinetic sculpture "Three Moons Rising" by Jeff Kahn and a bronze and gold leaf sculpture "Mantle II" by David Harber. Four pillars with carved heads depict the seasons and two statues of a Victorian man and woman are placed with Victorian garden furniture. Animalia include a leopard on the roof of the greenhouse, a lead dog outside the pool house, and frogs atop the well. On the terrace there is a Victorian bird bath and a lead water nymph playing a pipe next to the greenhouse. The owner is a member of the International Dendrology Society.

Persons associated with the garden's design: Brooks Bromley, former owner (1930s-1940s) and Thomas Warren Sears (landscape architect, circa 1930s-1940s).
