GARDEN Rx
Clockwise from top: This sunken garden appears informal but is built upon remnants left from Fanny Mason's day. The stately fountain is the centerpiece of the sunken
garden; water overflows into a small koi pond beneath and is recirculated to the top. Foxglove, peonies and primrose abound in early summer.
Mason planted all these locust trees over
100 years ago and now they are huge, "
says O'Donnell.
Rose Garden
Cabot and Lovell-Smith unearthed brick
walkways in the side yard that must have
belonged to an old garden. " They put in
boxwood hedges to make an herb garden
there, but later on Stephanie wanted to
add roses and they have become the main
feature, " says O'Donnell. " They get more
sun here than in the sunken garden, "
she points out. The four quadrants each
have a different hardy shrub rose - light
pink 'Fairy,' bright pink 'Gertrude Jekyll,'

yellow 'Charlotte' and dark pink 'John
Cabot,' named for the explorer, a distant
relative.
" We also added verbena bonariensis,
cleome, clematis and alliums to each
square, " O'Donnell says. In the center, a
white wisteria grows on a tall iron support
made from an old well head Cabot
and Lovell-Smith found on another part
of the property. Herbs now grow along a
walkway leading to the house where they
are more easily accessible when cooking.
The Girl in the Dell
On the opposite side of the house, Cabot
and Lovell-Smith found overgrown stone
steps leading down a steep slope into a
ravine near the base of the bluff. " There
was obviously a lawn here at some point,
and my parents had put a bench down
here, " says Cabot. Vinca now lines the
path, punctuated with upright cedars
leading to a statue of a young woman
holding a book. " Marcus found it for our
anniversary. The book is a wink to my
career in publishing, " says Cabot. " It
is new to the property but about the
same vintage as the house. " Inspired by
other statuary found on the grounds, it
is backed by a tall wooden Palladian
trellis, one of several that formerly hung
on the folly.
