The Old Garden

The Old Garden was the first garden created on the property in 1909. It was Clarence Hay's first attempt at a formal garden layout and over the years its character has changed completely from the original sun-drenched perennial-filled formal axial layout to the cool and shady overgrown area we observe today. Presently it is in the process of being renovated to more closely resemble the clean north-south and east-west axes first created by Hay.
