When the Robert E. Lee Memorial Foundation signed an agreement with The Garden Club of Virginia in 1929 to restore the gardens at Stratford Hall\, all that remained of the East Garden was a flat area overgrown with weeds\, a few ancient beech trees\, and a crumbling brick wall of uncertain origins. But we know from a letter written in 1790 by Thomas Lee Shippen\, grandson of Stratford Hall’s builder\, that there were “gardens\, vineyards\, orangeries and lawns which surround the house.” \nIn 1933\, the Garden Club of Virginia installed a boxwood garden to the east of the Great House. This marked the Club’s second restoration and was designed by Morley J. Williams\, nicknamed the father of Colonial Revival gardens. \nThe East Garden has been modified over the years with the most recent work\, based on archaeology and research\, completed in the summer of 2019. Working in conjunction with landscape architect firm Rieley and Associates of Charlottesville VA\, the Garden Club of Virginia and Stratford Hall completed the restoration of the upper tier of the East Garden according to a design of a mid-18th century plantation garden. \nThe garden currently showcases juxtaposed authentic 18th-century and Colonial Revival garden designs. Fruit trees\, annuals\, perennials\, and heirloom vegetables have been planted to complete the restoration showcasing one of the most visually stunning and accurate displays of 18th-century landscape in the country.
