General

Nantucket Garden is located on a property in Winnetka, Illinois, next to a cedar-shingled Nantucket-style house built in 1916 by Edwin Clark. The half moon rose garden adjacent to the screened porch at the rear of the house is planted with pink hybrid tea roses and floribunda roses surrounded by white begonias and white alyssum. Features include a terraced garden, a ravine garden and a boxwood knot garden. Garden furniture on the property includes a pair of Karl Schinkel neo-classical designed cast-iron brenches (ca. 1860) and two antique urns.
