109 2 // SITE HISTORY & EVOLUTION Gardener’s Cottage Exterior (includes edibles area) Insufficient Historic Data Ribes [unspecified species], Currant, CR Rubus [unspecified species], Raspberry, CR Greenhouse Interior Paeonia [unspecified], Peony, PP, PH Insufficient Historic Data Very little is known about the plantings around the Gardener’s Cottage due to a lack of sufficient historical resources. Photos indicate peony grown in the greenhouse as early as spring 1905, likely for planting in the courtyard garden. Other uses of the greenhouse are undocumented, though probably relating to numerous flowering species - Mrs. Martin preferred the greenhouse over the conservatory in the off-season due to the additional light that allowed flowering plants.
