Greenwood Gardens
Before it opened to the public, Greenwood Gardens was a private estate with a collection of designed landscapes that were developed over the course of three generations, including an eclectic mix of Art Noveau gardens, Asian-inspired landscapes and Colonial Revival terraces. As part of its debut as a public garden, the gardens were fitted out with visitor-reception infrastructure and the upper gardens around the main house were renovated, with select historic features reconstructed, in order to provide a lavish feast for the senses through all four seasons of the year. Jonathan served as project manager for the garden restoration in association with RAS Landscape Architecture.
