Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets, a survey plat with detail for location of garden features, articles about the designer and photographer, invoices from 2003 garden purchases, articles about Arthur Berger.

General:

Situated on one acre, the Phelps Garden was designed in 1959 by landscape architect Arthur Berger. The garden contains brick original to the 1959 construction, and was designed to offer space for live performances. Garden features include lanterns, temples, and sculptures. The garden features include ponds with water lilies and an outdoor stage. Plantings include tropical plants, ferns, irises, ginger, and a bamboo grove.

Landscape architect Arthur Berger received his degree from Harvard in 1928, beginning a career in landscape architecture and design. Berger officially established a residence in Dallas, Texas in 1939 and began designing gardens in the area. His wife, Marie Berger, began designing gardens with him after their marriage in 1946 and became known for their design techniques. Arthur Berger died in 1960, soon after the design of the Phelps Garden.

Persons associated with the garden include the Webb Family (former owner, 1959-2001), the Phelps Family (owner, 2002- ), and Arthur Berger (landscape architect, 1959).

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes worksheets.

General:

The 7.75 acres property was part of 100 acres the W.T. Carter family purchased as a weekend retreat from the city of Houston in 1929. Later subdivided into smaller parcels, the current owners have bought neighboring properties as they came on the market in order to triple the size of their property and recreate a native habitat along Buffalo Bayou. Invasive plants and vines have been removed from otherwise undisturbed areas above the bayou, including non-native ornamental escapees from previous gardens. The hydrology of the property was another concern: the formal landscaped areas had to be able to withstand occasional flooding and the high bank above the bayou that was going native needed to be stabilized. Native trees including burr oak, Live oak, and Mexican plum were planted to stabilize the soil for butterfly and wildflower gardens and were augmented with walking trails. A wooden retaining wall was installed. Native wood fern, Turk's cap, American beauty berry, lantana and butterfly bush were planted in the organized beds on the adjacent properties. Gravel that allows run-off has replaced hardscape in the formal courtyards and gravel swales for run-off throughout the property double as walking paths when dry.

The circa 2005 house replacing the original house on the lot is approached over a small bridge spanning a ravine then entered through formal contemporary courtyards with high walls draped with ivy and bougainvillea and bordered by hedges of jasmine and camellias. Behind the house there is a reflecting pool plaza with massive container plantings of geraniums, variegated ivy and foxtail ferns. The lawn in back is bordered by colorful azaleas planted in the 1990's bordered by a low stone wall and featuring a small stone Hindu temple. A swimming pool with a contemporary sculptural fountain was added when the house on one adjacent property was demolished.

Local conservationist Terry Hershey is a neighbor and was instrumental in preserving Buffalo Bayou in the 1960's. She encouraged all the neighbors to leave the land adjacent to the bayou in a natural state that would support wildlife, and organized the Bayou Preservation Association. The formal plaza and landscaped azalea garden of this property transition to native plantings for the benefit of local wildlife, including armadillos, raccoons, barn owls and other birds, butterflies, and possibly coyotes.

Persons associated with the garden include W. T. Carter, Jr., W.T. Carter, III & Victor N. Carter (former owners, 1929-1956); Sanford McCormick (former owner, 1980-1993); Nelson Steenland (former owner, 1956-1986); Jan & David Samuels (former owners, 1986-2006); David T. Searls (former owner, 1957-1972); Catherine Searls Abercrombie (former owner, 1972-1998); McDugald Steele (Landscape Architect, 2010- ); Terry Hershey (conservationist, 1993- ); Eric Ruckstuhl (horticulturist and hydrologist, 2005- ).

Place:

Cedarcroft (Richmond, Virginia)

United States of America -- Virginia -- Richmond County -- Richmond

Scope and Contents:

The folder includes a worksheet, a garden plan, and a narrative description of the garden keyed to the individual slides. The garden is noted for its English style, the variety and particularity of its plantings (some of which were imported from England), and the overall attention of its owner to fine detail in both planning and execution.

General:

"This garden is a reflection of the owner's connoisseurship and exquisite taste. It is essentially English in style, in that formal elements mix with informal plantings of a great variety of flowers. The garden is divided into two main sections. The area surrounding the house consists mainly of decorative plantings. The second section is located north of the house, separated from it by hedging, and consists of a kitchen garden and orchard as well as decorative plants."

Special features include a crazy-paved bluestone patio, with a variety of herbs, flowers, and other plants growing between the stones; a wrought iron temple modeled after one at Kew Gardens and placed on a high mound in the southwest corner of the garden; and extensive plantings of fruit trees, daffodils, and hellebores. Many of the latter have been hybridized by the owner.

Persons associated with the property include: T. W. Wilmer (former owner); Robert S. Hebb (designer, mid-1990s); and Robert Kibler (horticulturist).

Salt Marsh House (Newport, Rhode Island)

Scope and Contents:

20 digital images (2020-2021).

General:

The house built in 1929 is sited on Goose Neck Cove 14 feet above sea level and surrounded on three sides by tidal marshland. There were no specific plans for gardens within the 4.13 acre property when a young gardener was hired in 1992 - just instructions to add a vegetable and cutting garden. What has been developed since are garden rooms, including a Japanese room, a certified arboretum with 85 different specimen and native trees including a grove of paperbark maples, distinctive hedgerows with openings to hidden garden rooms, and significant coastal restoration of the marshes. That work on this property began with hand removal of invasive phragmites (grasses) and purple loosestrife followed by the planting of native spartina grass, broadleaf cattail, milkweed, shadbush, and bayberry to create a rich coastal ecosystem. Now the natives bordering the salt marsh meld into the cultivated landscape.

The tree collection includes buckeye and horse chestnut, a pollarded catalpa, an espaliered Anjou pear, a big leaf magnolia at the front of the house that faces the street, and around the perimeter of the property there are willow, cedar, umbrella pine and crabapple. Hurricane Sandy felled a 55-foot giant sequoia but the gardeners have replanted two more on higher ground. The Japanese room, inspired by the owner's travel, is planted with azaleas and has a pond and a Thai wooden temple. Sculpture in the gardens include a Buddha head and a Dappu JuJu elephant sculpted by Anita Dongre. An art collection is housed in a barn built near the house.

Other garden rooms include two vegetable patches and a cutting bed, a meditation garden, an informal herb garden, and a sundial island garden planted with boxwood, santolina, sedums and astilbe. A cattail trail leads to a high viewing platform over the marsh. Through plant choice and design the collaboration of owner and manager have created an evolving landscape in this coastal location that will withstand both weather events and climate change.

Persons associated with the garden's design: Edith McBean (owner, gardener, art collector, 1992- ); Devin Skelly (estate gardener and designer, 1992- ).

Provenance:

The Newport Garden Club facilitated the 2021 submission.
