Description
General Description
Comprised of annuals, perennials and small shrubs, the species used in these foundation plantings are likely not original; however, the style of houses and period in which they were built indicates similar plantings originally existed to provide a transition from the surrounding large forest stands to a more comfortable human scale around the houses. Portion of these plantings are included in the preservation designations for Quarters 1 and Quarters 2.
