Restoration Begins.
One of the first decisions that had to be made was to what period in Anne’s 70-year association with the
garden should it be restored. Ultimately, Jane Baber White established the 1937 garden
depicted in photographs as the benchmark.
The first-phase restoration re-established fences, walkways, flower beds and other plantings. An Eagle Scout candidate also
led fellow scouts in rebuilding Edward's grape arbor and pergola.
Twenty-seven years later a second-phase restoration replaced that
arbor and pergola with more historically accurate structures.
