Raised rock berms, gravel and stone troughs were the planting beds of this vanished garden on an urban street, with a small lawn in the center of the backyard. Seeds for the bulb, perennial and cactus species planted with succulents, ground cover plants and dwarf conifers were collected by the owner in the alpine and steppe regions of the world. Regions included the American west, Turkey, western Asia, the Mediterranean, South Africa, Mexico and South America. Each species would have been adapted to its own native microclimate, and was shown to thrive in a rock garden in Denver's elevated altitude and hot, dry climate. Steppe plants tend to have silver, gray, hairy, spiny, waxy or leathery foliage and often brilliantly colored flowers, in this atypical garden. Several thousand species were propagated and sold by the owners through their business, Rocky Mountain Rare Plants. Also, the owner developed the Rock Alpine Garden at The Denver Botanic Garden, and grew and tested about 6,000 species of plants.
Persons associated with the garden include Panayoti Kelaidis and Gwen M. Moore (former owners).

From 1988 to 1995 a corner lot in a semi-arid climate with two median strips inspired the term "hellstrip" for the narrow and challenging gardens between the sidewalk and the street. Inspired by the need for an aesthetic overhaul, the owner tore out all the lawns on the property, approximately one-quarter acre, and replaced the grass with perennials, bulbs, ornamental grasses, succulents, spruce and cactus that would thrive without watering once the plants were established. The patchwork design was inspired by other gardens in wetter climates, particularly Ireland where the owner had worked, achieving the effect without plentiful moisture. Plants that did not thrive were pulled out. The hellstrips were seven feet wide and approximately 70 feet long, nearly 500 square feet in total. There was a town ordinance limiting the height of anything on the strips - organic or otherwise. Several applications of weed killer were followed by digging out debris and grubbing out juniper and tree stumps.
Plant selection for the hellstrips included seed-grown plants and bulbs that were drought-tolerant, non-invasive and not too tall. Although originally from many different parts of the world, these plants shared similar growth habits: mounding rather than spreading. Self-sowing poppies and larkspur thrived in the pea gravel mulch that was used to prevent erosion and to shade the roots from the intense summer heat that reflected off the surrounding concrete sidewalks and street. Darker and hotter hues, including scarlet penstemon, bright yellow linum, orange California poppies and burgundy and yellow gaillardias glowed in the afternoon sun at the west end while pastel-toned dianthus, salvias and mauve penstemon were planted at the east end. Plants with evergreen foliage including iceplant extended the growing season. Some other favorite plants for the median strips included those with silver leaves such as dusty miller, catmint and herbs as well as many varieties of cactus and flat-leafed succulents that contributed different textures.

The folder includes worksheets, garden plan and plant list, correspondence, and photocopies of images.
Architect George Maher designed the house with Arts and Crafts influences in 1893 for his family, and had the garden designed by his friend and colleague Jens Jensen. Only the white pine in the front yard and a burr oak in the back yard remain from the Jensen landscape. An island bed of pachysandra and ferns surround the pine. A rose garden with heirloom and modern roses was planted circa 1990. Trellises with climbing roses, porcelain vines and trumpet vines were placed against the house and porch. The foundations plantings include hydrangeas, boxwoods and mature perennials. The pink brick walk to the front door was bordered by beds of perennials.
Persons associated with the garden include George W.(1864-1926) and Elizabeth Maher and Violet Wyld (architect and former owners, 1893-circa 1987; Chris Dreher (former owner, 1987-1988); Wild family (former owners, 1988-1989); Jens Jensen(1860-1951) (landscape architect, 1893-1895); Chalet Garden Design (garden designers, 1988), Jane Mueller and Mark Marcus, Private Gardens, Public Places (garden designers, 2000); Deidre E.

The garden was started in the 1980's for the commercial production of lettuce, which the owner sold at a farm stand along with Mexican pottery. In 1990 the crop changed to ornamentals for cutting, in keeping with the garden's name, which translates to field of flowers. The rectangular garden was designed in four sections with crossed axes; where the grassed paths crossed there was an obelisk. A rustic pergola stood at an entrance. A warehouse and retail store building was added to the property in 1996, to sell proprietary terra cotta pottery with moss accretions and garden ornaments. The latest garden wraps around this building, landscaped with trees, shrubs, perennials, bulbs and container plantings.

Beginning work in 1949 the gardens on this five acre property were a collaboration between landscape architect Fletcher Steele (1855-1971) and owner Helen Stoddard, and most of Steele's design and plantings were maintained for the next 50 years. The site slopes down behind the house and has outcroppings of rock. Steele envisioned a descending cornucopia shape inspired by the illusion of the downward spiral he had observed in Titian's painting "Bacchus and Ariadne", and had the shape he wanted carved into the earth by bulldozers. Descending levels of lawn, flower beds, and a pond were bordered by a ribbon of bluestone planted with tufts of blue fescue. Dry stone walls planted with maiden hair ferns were built from a porous fossilized rock dug out of a dried-up lake bed in Castalia, Ohio. Two sets of steps, one from the bluestone terrace behind the house and another below a bank of roses were covered with moss. White birches were planted to draw the eye to perennial borders, and spires of arborvitae were another focal point. The Art Deco style of the garden brought together the exotic and native by blending into surrounding woodlands that had plantings of juniper, mountain laurel, azaleas, dogwood, hemlock, birch, and elm.
The current owners resolved to preserve Steele's innovative design and vision as much as possible while changing some deteriorating hardscape and plants. The dry Castalia stone wall and moss-covered steps were no longer safe and had to be replaced when the house was renovated. Bluestone was used to rebuild the terrace behind the house and for steps set on fieldstone risers, and a new low wall was built from cinder blocks with stone facing. A walkway of fieldstone set in the lawn recalled an original path. The blue fescue grass was dying off, possibly due to soggy feet, and is being replaced by Japanese hakone grass which is mostly yellow. The arborvitae had grown too tall and were out of scale, many were knocked over by a storm, and some are being replanted. However many of the perennials in the borders and beds, the white birches and the rose and azalea banks are still growing.
Persons associated with the garden include: Robert and Helen Stoddard (former owners, 1941-1999); Fletcher Steele (1885-1971) (landscape architect, 1946-1949); Matt Mattus (gardener, 1975-1980); Isabel Wheat (horticulturist, 1999- ); Robert Karski (documentation, 2016).

The grounds of this quarter acre downtown property were too water-logged for conventional planting so working with garden designer Stephen Rosselet the owners created a pond and bog garden connected by a channel. A screened porch overlooked the garden and an elevated boardwalk laid out in a zig-zag provided access. After it was dug the pond was lined with a 500-pound sheet of rubber and edged with field rocks, while the bog was lined with perforated plastic for drainage. Shrubs, grasses and ferns that thrive in wet soil were planted in large swathes; moss at the edge of the bog was maintained by spraying buttermilk. The water garden provided habitat for birds, butterflies, and a pair of mallards that adopted this property.
Persons associated with the garden include Milt and Barbara Rohwer (former owners); Stephen Rosselet (garden designer).

From 1980 to 1995 this was the one-acre garden of a plant collector, with species iris, aroids, peonies, bamboos, lycoris and other Chinese flora. The owner collected rhizomes and seeds on many trips to China which were grown in his home garden, traded or offered for sale. Cultivars with variegated foliage were featured, including variegated gingko, goldenrod, lilac, cannas and poison ivy. Climactic conditions in that location included temperatures that could range from above 100 degrees Fahrenheit to below zero degrees in winter, with alkaline fine clay soil. The garden was disassembled when the property was cleared for commercial construction and the plants were sent to public and private garden.

Two suburban New Jersey gardens across the street from each other, behind conventional Colonial Revival houses, are linked by the friendship of the owners and their garden designer, Richard Hartlage. The Hardie garden features dense plantings of vividly colored tropicals and outsize grasses, most planted in containers to extend their outdoor growing season.The surrounding high wall was painted cobalt blue to bring the sky into the garden and to set up a contrast with the oranges, yellows and greens of the plants. The approximately 40-foot square plot slopes down seven feet from the back door to the colonnaded garage added in 1992, which led to the design and installation of this garden. Steps lead from the deck directly behind the house to another level with a dining table and chairs, with more steps leading to the hot tub concealed under a deck and garage where brick stands between the columns hold more planted containers. Sculptures on plinths and a decorative metal screen by artist Douglas Wilson have been sited among the plants.The exuberant back garden, which recalls the owner's South African roots, contrasts with the more sedate front garden where white caladiums, elephant's ears and ornamental grasses are planted in neat beds, referencing English Victorian carpet bedding.
The Mountsier garden has more conventional green spaces - open lawn, curvilinear lines and tall clipped hedges separating garden rooms. Starting with an inherited half-acre property smothered by overgrown rhododendron, pieris, and mountain laurel the owner gradually purchased adjacent properties and replaced those houses with smaller structures. Beginning in 1992 Hartlage designed the current 2.3 acre property to showcase more than 100 outdoor sculptures, some seen through openings in the high hedges. An eight-foot high lookout tower is camouflaged by clipped hornbeam, and a grove of Norway maples from an appended property is fronted by a 160-foot curving berm planted with four kinds of Japanese grasses. The front garden has star magnolias, Japanese snowbell trees and clipped American boxwood hedges.
Both gardens have participated in The Garden Conservancy's Open Days. There are no images of the Mountsier garden in this series.

In 1979 this 25- by 60-foot urban garden was a dump filled with rubbish and rubble located behind a nearly derelict formerly commercial brick building. The invasive eight-foot tall Japanese knotweed that grew here was hacked down and hauled away along with 20 cubic yards of trash; a venerable privet was maintained. The owner dug down 18 inches, brought in 40 cubic yards of topsoil and five yards of manure and started a vegetable garden. Some of the bricks and rocks he had excavated were used to build a rock garden, waterfall and pool at the shady rear of the yard. Its higher elevation allowed water to run off into irrigation channels for the vegetables. Paving stones found on the property were laid creating five tiers connected by brick or plank steps. The first garden was finished by 1982 but had to be redesigned and rebuilt in 1988. New construction next door had shaded out this garden, and a lawn, except for a small patch of grass in the sunniest spot, was not feasible. Starting behind the house there is a private outdoor shower, ascending to a garden room for dining and entertaining with a brick built-in barbeque, table and chairs. At the next level the former vegetable garden was turned into a more formal ornamental garden with L-shaped beds planted with perennials anchored by a dwarf Japanese maple in the central bed. The irrigation pool was converted to a fish pond and small water garden that drains into an artificial rock-lined creek from which the water recirculates.
Since the site receives very little direct sun and is subject to urban air pollution the owner has found that woodland plants are the most successful. Ground covers have reduced the need for weeding and if it rains once a week the garden does not have to be watered. Ephemeral bulbs start the blooming season in March and the garden remains in bloom for eight or nine months of the year. Flowering ground covers including partridgeberry, wintergreen, bunchberry and myrtle form a tapestry in raised borders filled with topsoil enriched with manure. Wild flowers in the rock garden include trilliums, violets, bloodroot, and Solomon's seal. Shade-tolerant perennials and shrubs, notably hostas, ferns, yews and specimen hemlocks, other hardy perennials including purple coneflowers, bleeding hearts, daylilies, pinks, loosestrife, catmint and Russian sage, and self-sowing cleome and foxglove thrive in this Brooklyn garden.
Brooklyn -- Druse Garden
Centre Island -- Suzy and Carter Bales Garden
In 1978 the owners purchased a six-acre property with a Tudor-style house built in 1908 that, along with the gardens, had been neglected for 40 years. A dying apple orchard, fall-blooming species crocus and a few irises survived plus ivy and honeysuckle vines. The first garden they planted was a kitchen garden, followed by colorful azaleas as a foundation planting for the house. Their landscape architect, Alice Recknagel Ireys, removed the azaleas, famously saying they looked like a motel garden. The garden rooms Ireys designed include a formal walled perennial garden with a reflecting pool and small fountain, a crescent-shaped rose garden backed by a holly hedge and edged in front with dwarf boxwood; she connected these to the kitchen garden via an S-shaped lilac and peony walk. A small orchard was designed for the front of the property fenced by espaliered apples and pears. Two ponds were constructed with water draining from the smaller into a stream then down a waterfall to the larger pond to be pumped back to the first pond via an underground pipe. The former carriage yard was paved with flagstones placed far enough apart so groundcovers could grow between them. A swimming pool and tennis court also were designed by Ireys.
The owners replaced hybrid tea roses with antique, English and shrub varieties and filled in the lilac and peony walk with more plants for continuous bloom and fragrance from April to October. They planted a woodland walk with spring bulbs and ephemerals, shade-loving perennials and shrubs for summer bloom, and included other plants for their fall color. The courtyard garden has a dogwood tree, sunflowers growing between the flagstones, and five-foot-deep garden beds with mixed perennials and bulbs. Climbing vines were planted to adorn the walls of several outbuildings. Trees that were planted in front of the house are surrounded by "petticoats" of flowering perennials or annuals that grow into island beds to replace grass. Salty sea breezes were a challenge that has been mitigated by the holly hedge, four-foot tall stucco walls, and the woodlands. The owner is an award winning garden writer, lecturer and advisor to public gardens.
Persons associated with the garden include: Suzy and Carter Bales (1978- ), Alice Recknagel Ireys (1911-2000) (landscape architect, ca. 1980- ).

The original land, purchased circa 1970, was less than two acres with a modest house was meant to be a vacation home. The flat rectangular lot had been used as a dump and took two years to clear; the task of creating order evolved into creating a formal parterre garden with brick walkways, extensive treillage and hedges, a potager, and rose gardens. Primarily French in design the formal garden was laid out on a central axis with asymmetrical radiating paths with a Greek herm placed at one end of the axis. Three more acres were acquired; yew hedges were planted since there were no walls, in addition to the clipped boxwood hedges of the parterres. The property features a woodland modeled on English parks, swimming pool, dovecote and other sculptures placed throughout the garden rooms

Many gardens utilize ornamental tropical plants for bedding or in seasonal containers. Since 2000 this small property, less than one-fifth acre in a northern residential neighborhood, has masses of enormous tropical plants growing as they would in their native climates, a practice known as "zone denial". These include banana plants that can be found at specialty nurseries, big-leaf taro from the grocers that roots much like sweet potatoes and sprouts huge black leaves, angel's trumpets with poisonous vanilla-scented flowers, and more conventional begonias, cannas and dahlias. Tropical and tender perennials do not survive cold winters out-of- doors. Some of the plants that are in colorful glazed containers from Vietnam are cut back and wintered over in a cold basement or greenhouse, rhizomes and tubers are dug up after the first frost and stored wrapped in damp paper, and banana plants are replaced each year.
Persons associated with the garden include Robert Wong (garden designer, 2000- ).

1 folder and 135 2 X 2.5" color transparencies.
Four season gardening and propagating hard-to-find plants are the work of the owner of this 61-acre property with a 19th century house and outbuildings. The fall season from September into December brings more intense coloration to annuals and perennials while the gardener collects seeds, takes cuttings, divides and transplants perennials. In winter invasive trees and vines are pulled out of the woodlands and dead limbs are removed from the trees. The seeds that were collected are planted in little pots and kept in a cool, dark space for about six weeks then moved into a greenhouse for a year. In addition to the seedlings that are planted out in spring some are carried to new locations by the wind, mice or birds. There are 20 hillside wooded acres terraced in the 1930s that are the canvas for snowdrops, cyclamen, hellebores, primroses, crocus and other rare cultivars. Small groves of sabal palm, magnolia and sweetshrub were added to the mature trees. Sunny beds of flowers are grown on the site of the 19th century kitchen garden. Montrose has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2001, is a preservation partner with the Garden Conservancy, and participated in an Historic North Carolina Garden tour.
Persons associated with the garden include: Kirkland (former owner, 1799- ); William A. and Susan Washington Graham and family members (former owners, 1842-1977); Thomas Paxton (landscape gardener, 1842).

The natural setting of this 16 acre property that overlooks the Delaware River was featured more than a lavish garden by the 60 by 14 yard gunite swimming pool. A three-story cedar clad tower was the first construction on the vacation property and was eventually connected by a passageway to the rest of the house. Gates, fences and columns were custom-designed to complement the location. Large stone steps excavated from the pool's site were used in the multiple walkways from the house to the pool and garden which were at a higher elevation.
Persons associated with the garden include A. Billie Cohen (garden designer, 1987-1989); Jeffrey Cayle (woodwork designer and builder).

Native plants and trees predominate in the gardens that surround the award-winning modern house on a two-thirds acre lot. The house was designed to evoke a settler's house that had been expanded over time with stone walls mortared with slurry, a metal roof and exterior chimney. The gardens feature curving beds, native limestone walls and patio with a lap pool outlined with the same stone. At first the lawns were planted with Prairie Buffalo grass developed at Texas A&M University. When this variety did not succeed it was replaced with El Toro grass. The Osborn Garden was included in one of the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Garden Center's annual tours.
Persons associated with the garden include Stephen K. Domigan (landscape architect, 1992); Robert Steinbomer and Donna Osborn (architects, 1992).

The 24-acre property in the Snoqualmie watershed had been logged once or twice before it was purchased in the 1970's and turned into a private home and teaching nature sanctuary. The swampy lake was full of fir stumps and abandoned cedar trees that took three months to haul out, leaving a small lake that spilled into wetlands. An old logging road was turned into an asymmetrical gravel driveway that wound past a stand of mature hemlocks, woodlands, ponds, and curving stone walls. About four acres were developed for the house and close-in gardens that included more than 100 bonsai, koi pond and azaleas in an enclosure, a Japanese-style dry landscape garden with walls on two sides, a park with both native and exotic tree species inspired by the 18th century English gardens designed by Capability Brown, and mixed woodlands with native trees as well as the stumps from the old growth forest. The design transformed a rugged site into a setting that combined nature and artifice, English and Japanese features. The National Wildlife Federation awarded the Welch Sanctuary its certificate of Exceptional Merit on July 17, 1995.
Persons associated with the garden include Terry Welch (former owner and landscape designer, 1976-2009).
