It now features many of the original plants augmented with newer varieties. 6. The Old Garden. Also known as the Pan Garden, the Old Garden was planted in 1909 with shrub roses and perennials. It is now a quiet woodland sanctuary with original specimen rhododendrons, azaleas, and a magnificent Chinese Dogwood.
