Designed by acclaimed landscape architect Anthony “Tony” Holmes of Philadelphia, the grounds are divided into parterres or “rooms,” featuring an array of shrubs, perennials, annuals, herbs, heirloom roses, vines and specimen trees.

The proscenium has been removed entirely and the stage brought forward 25 feet, fitted with flexible risers and parterre seating.

It has to be 50 acres and it’s all parterres with vegetables and flowers.

Like many poets before him, he had a keen sense of how memory could repose in objects, whether “dungy sticks / In a jackdaw’s nest” or “a marble bust commanding the parterre.”

The “pigeon house” stood behind a locked gate, and a shallow parterre that had been somewhat neglected.
