General:
The gardens at Charnwood, a three-acre property in Memphis, Tennessee, were designed beginning in 1925 by Warda Stevens Stout, a former owner. There were massive plantings of perennial flowers, roses and bulbs in formal garden beds around a large fountain and on three terraces that led to an exedra. Features included old columns, artificial ruins, a wishing well and an irregularly shaped koi pond and water garden. The style of the garden was Italianate, complementing the style of the house. Today most of the ornamental gardens are gone: the flowering terraces have been replaced by lawns, the former flower beds around the fountain are nearly bare, and the pond flowers are towering. Remnants of the brick walks and steps can be seen. A large swimming pool was installed near Mrs. Stout's wishing well and the old chicken coop is now used as a garden shed.
Persons associated with the garden include Mr. and Mrs. Norfleet (former owners, until 1925); Mr. and Mrs. C.B. Stout (former owners, beginning in 1925); Dr. and Mrs. O'Farrell Shoemaker (former owners); Obadiah Gray (gardener); and Warda Stevens Stout (garden designer and horticulturist).

Scope and Contents:
The folders include worksheets, plans, financial documents, correspondence, plant lists, copies and photocopies of articles featuring the garden, and other information.
General:
Noted landscape architect Rose Greely did the original design for this garden, while Perry Wheeler undertook extensive remodeling beginning in the early 1950s. A typical small Georgetown garden only 48 feet wide, its privacy was assured by a wisteria-topped brick wall, shade trees, and shrubs around its borders. The plan divided the area into several distinct sections, including a shade terrace, living terrace, lawn, lawn terrace, and even a small circular formal vegetable and herb garden. A fountain adjacent to the living terrace provided white noise to mask the sounds of the urban setting. The Wheeler portion of the series includes not only visual images but plans, financial records, and other documentation. Greely's architectural drawings and papers are housed in Special Collections at the University of Virginia Library, Charlottesville, Virginia.
Persons associated with the garden include Rose Greely (landscape architect, circa 1920-1940); Perry H. Wheeler (landscape architect, circa 1951-1964); Dr. Franklin L. Stroud (former owner, 1976-2008); Paul B. and Laura T. Magnuson (former owners, 1946-1974); Frances Shoemaker (former owner); and Fred W. Jones (former owner).
