Gertrude Jekyll Garden at Glebe House, Woodbury

The English garden designer Gertrude Jekyll provided the drawings for a garden in 1927 that was intended to surround the historic Glebe House in Woodbury. The design was not executed until decades later, in 1988. The gardens are wide perennial borders separating the house from the road with an axial path leading straight to the historic plank front door of the house. Additional narrow borders surround the house with low plantings and a lawn separating the perimeter borders from the house wall borders. Behind the house, a small paved patio garden with four geometric beds provided a space for a kitchen garden.
