Van Doren Garden.

General

Gayway, possibly in Morristown, New Jersey, is located on three acres. In addition to a 200-year old farmhouse and small barn/garage the site featured extensive iris and perennial borders, herb garden, an outdoor fireplace, and a large vegetable garden as well as outdoor seating areas. The exact location of the property is not known.
An excellent article by former owner Ruth Van Doren describes the use and planting of the garden between 1948 and 1963.
