Hello,

 

I am a summer intern at a historic house museum developing an
interpretive landscape plan.  Staff and docent-led tours of the mansion.
and carriage house are currently provided. We are at the early stages of
researching and gathering interpretive material of our gardens and
grounds for docent, staff, and visitor use.

 

The historic house itself was built in the 1830s-1840s but the formal
garden was planned in 1914.  We have additional newer gardens part of
our grounds-herb garden, wild flower garden, and a kitchen garden. 

 

I would like to learn a bit about your process in developing such
material and know if/how similar institutions have interpreted their
landscape,and incorporated their grounds and gardens into the history of
the main building, etc. I am in the early stages of compiling the
information and am interested in any formats or brochures that have been
created for visitor use. Any insight and/or materials you would like to
share on/off the list serv would be very much appreciated.

 

Thank you,

 

Jessie M. Noda
