[Edgewood (MD)]: overall plan of the garden, showing such features as the sunken garden with its tapis vert or green carpet, the pergola, walkways, and the greenhouse.

Although the plan, which probably dates to 1913, appears to indicate Michael Jenkins (1842-1915) as the owner of Edgewood, it is fairly certain that he merely commissioned the design and landscaping of the site, perhaps as a 75th birthday gift for his sister Eliza. Edgewood was the country home of Eliza Lucas Jenkins (1838-1916) and had been purchased for her and her sister Ellen M. Jenkins (1841-1908) by another sibling, Joseph W. Jenkins (1840-1921). Michael Jenkins lived nearby at his own estate, Llewellyn (see images in MD360).
