T|G’s design for the Sunken Garden at Hill-Stead was based on a newly discovered, horticulturally detailed plan (c.1925) from the archives of Beatrix Jones Farrand (1872-1959), one of the country’s first landscape architects.
​
While there is no record that the original was ever executed, T|G’s plan is faithful to that design with only a few, carefully researched substitutions with modern perennial hybrids and some minor, but sensitive adjustments to the layout, necessary to accommodate the public usage which, as anticipated, has increased dramatically since restoration.
