General:
Located on approximately 100 acres, Windwood Garden was originally part of a 90-plus acre property that dates back to 1879 when R.T. Crane purchased it. During the early 1900s, the property was operated as the Crane's family compound with fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, a bakery laundry building and four greenhouses. The property was subdivided in 1933 to Maxwell House and A. F. Gartz. The western side of the divided property was purchased in 1948 by the current owner from A. F. Gartz and included the original house, vegetable garden, orchard and large expanses of lawn with a few flowers or shrubs. When the property was purchase, the property was very basic and showed signs of neglect. Brian Bader, arborist consultant, and Scott Byron, landscape architect, assisted the owners in creating a plan to conserve and transform the property into a small arboretum and then to further develop vistas from many different angles across the entire property.
The property includes woodlands and meadows populated with native spring wildflowers and large beds of daffodils. The wooded areas have many varieties of oaks, beech, maple, hemlock, walnut, hickory, lindens and butternut trees. A white okay tree is marked with a plaque by a University of Wisconsin arborist as the largeest white oka in Southeast Wisconsin. Decorative sculptures, benches, bridges, fountains, ponds and trails with plantings of trees, shrubs, perennials and wild grasses are also featured on the property.
In a 2014 garden tour handout for the Garden Club of America, the following areas were described as distinct areas of the home and garden: the manor House, the Country House, the Green Carriage House, the Caretaker's House, teh Stable, the Woodland Cottage, the White Oak Savannah, the Vegetable Garden, the Cooler House, the Pond, the Boat Deck, West Pier and East Pier.
Persons associated with the property include: R. T. Crane (former owner, 1879-1933); A. F. Gartz (former owner, 1933-1948); The Griffith family (owner, 1948- ), Scott Byron (landscape architect, 1985-present); Brian Bader (arborist consultant, University of Wisconsin, Madison Arboretum, 1996-1998).

General:
Located in the Fox Chapel section of Pittsburgh, the varied gardens of this site surround a Tudor home dating to the 1920s. Little remains of the original landscape design by Ezra C. Stiles. However, although the gardens have been redesigned and reinvigorated within the last 10 years they remain in perfect harmony with their historic setting. Attached to the house is a walled garden (the "Drying Garden") that started life as an enclosed laundry yard, but now features brick-paved paths and plantings of fragrant perennials, shrubs, peonies, and old-fashioned roses. A courtyard whose walls are covered with climbing roses and clematis features a sunny side planted with a variety of shrubs, perennials, and more roses, while its shady side is filled with ostrich ferns, hosta, hellebores, and rhododendron. Theme gardens include a "Yellow and Blue" garden planted in a fieldstone terrace, with added burgundy and pink. The "Blue and White" garden located on the west end of the house is filled with campanulas, buddleia, roses, lilies, and delphiniums. On the lower level is a garden area planted with tea roses and modern single peony hybrids.
Persons associated with the garden include W. Forman and Florence Croft Bickel (former owners, 1928-1957); Brandon Smith (architect, 1928); Ezra C. Stiles (landscape architect, 1930s); Diane Devore (landscape architect, 2000); and Ed Shirey (gardener, 2000 to date).
