The Garden Finds a Community.
In 1983, Anne and Edward's son, Chauncey, introduced
horticulturist and landscape gardener Jane Baber White to the garden and its
history and requested White's assistance in its "fixing
up." Inspired mmediately by its legacy and potential for
renewal, White led the Hillside Garden Club on a mission
to restore and recapture the spirit of Anne's sanctuary.
During the next 30 years, the club worked
in two separate restoration phases (1983-1991 and 2008-2011) toward that goal,
while also providing ongoing
stewardship of the site, as it does today.
