Shrubbery Garden

Joseph Chamberlain laid out the Shrubbery Garden during his 1898 visit to the Farms. Essentially English in design, the garden contained exotic plant material much of which was imported from England. One of the surviving specimens is the monumental cluster of weeping beech trees. Others included rhododendrons, hemlocks, forsythia, azaleas, fringe trees, dogwood, spruce, golden chain tree, flowering crabapples, fir and Japanese maples.
