General:
The Turner Lynch Garden is located on a 3.08 acre property in the historic district of Peachtree Heights Park. The architecture firm Carrère & Hastings planned the district's street layout, a curvilinear design that incorporates the natural terrain of the region. In keeping with this plan, a long winding driving driveway leads to the Mediterranean style house which is sited at the crest of a gently sloping hill. While preserving the bones of the original landscape, the Turner Lynch Garden features a series of garden rooms that have been developed by the present owner. These include a formal rose garden, a Japanese woodland garden, a conifer garden, and a children's playhouse garden. Original to the property, a perennial garden dates back to the early 1920's when it was termed a "round garden." The four quadrants of the garden, which mirror each other, have been enlarged to accommodate a larger planting area, and annual plants are added to provide color in late summer.
The front of the house features a large fescue lawn framed with border plantings offering the architectural features of the house as the focal point of that view. A terrace at the back of the house features a knot garden that overlooks a reflecting pool below, with a view of the perennial garden beyond. From the terrace and the perennial garden the sloping property continues down to a wooded area featuring rock walls and tile paths that wind through the trees and a recirculating stream and three ponds accented with small wooden bridges and stone benches.
Persons associated with the garden include: Harold O. Rogers (former owner, 1923-1927); J.W. (Wick) Goldsmith (former owner, 1927-1928); Clarence Haverty (former owner, 1928-1986); A. Emmett Barnes IV (former owner, 1986-1989); Pringle and Smith (architects, 1921); and T.C. Wesley (contractor/builder, 1922/1923).

Broad flower beds of perennials and annuals bring color and romance to the ocean side location of Cliff Garden, a seven-acre property atop an 80-foot drop to the Atlantic Ocean. The flower beds surround an ovoid lawn that features an antique marble table from India. The garden is entered from the circular driveway by crossing a wooden bridge and going through an Asian-inspired pergola. In addition to the main flower garden there is a cutting garden next to a garage, grass walks around the house leading to the cliff that are bordered with beds of shrubs and flowering shrubs, woodlands, and naturalized plantings in the center of the driveway in front of the house.
The garden was established in 2003 with the assistance of landscape architect Patrick Chassé (ASLA). Hardscaping includes stone stairs leading down from the house to the garden, benches, and large native boulders amidst the flower beds. An electrified deer fence protects the garden.
Persons associated with the garden include Dennis Bracale of Gardens by Design (landscape designer, 2004-2009); Patrick Chassé, ASLA (landscape designer, 2003); Jeff Gammelin of Freshwater Stone (stone mason, 2002).

General:
This garden has been under continual development by the owners since 1979, although some features, such as the rear brick patio, had been added by the property's previous owners. It is formal in the sense that all the plants are manicured and elegant, but the curving lines used throughout prevent the garden from being stiff. Landscaping in the front yard has been enhanced by the addition of a flowering crab and Korean fir, as well as various shrubs and spring bulbs. A brick pathway through perennial beds highlights the south side of the house. In 1985 a gazebo and curving brick pathway through the back lawn were added. The path curves past shrubs, a rose garden, a teak bench, and an English chimney pot, continuing through the gazebo and past hosta beds (there are more than 35 varieties of hosta in the garden). The brick path ends at a wooden bridge built over a dry streambed surrounded by plantings of ferns, hosta, and shade-loving perennials. On the other side of the bridge a flagstone path continues, passing a playhouse as it returns to the patio. Two ponds and a waterfall were built in 1990, and the waterfall can be heard by anyone sitting on the patio. Adjacent to the patio, the ponds are surrounded by plantings of spirea, hosta, yews, euonymus, and ferns. Many large pots of exotic and annual flowers are scattered around the patio, as are numerous wrought iron tables and chairs. A brick wall set with a wrought iron gate separates the yard and patio from the driveway. This garden's mature plantings and shade trees make it a cool oasis.
Persons associated with the property and garden include: Daniel Gray (former owner, 1931-1937); Norman Sample (former owner, 1937-1957); Peter Peterson (former owner, 1957-1964); Rex Clemons (former owner, 1964-1978); Ted Pearson, Jr. (former owner, 1978-1979); Jeffery Mink (landscape architect, 1991 and 1999); Brian Kinghorn (landscape architect, 1989); and Addie Kinghorn (horticulturist, gardener, and landscape architect, 1995 to date).
