16. FLOWER & KITCHEN GARDEN
Once enclosed on three sides by a picket fence, the remaining ten-foot high stone wall still retains the northern edge of the large rectangular garden. Cross-axial paths divided the garden into four quadrants with espaliered fruit trees lining the stone wall. A large Sycamore stands in the northeast corner. Beyond the Sycamore were Springside’s apple, peach, plum, and cherry orchards.
