Fry Garden
Peterborough, NH
Water feature, Woodland/shade garden, Historic garden
The garden consists of more than 52 garden areas connected by staircases, pebbled or grass walkways, and spread over a 9-acre site. They include level spaces and terraced areas designed to accommodate the significant elevation changes on the property. Styles range from formal near the house to less structured closer to wooded areas, a number of water features, including numerous pools and two ponds, and a large perennial garden. Some striking features are a 300-foot sycamore allée, a series of semicircular terraces bordered by standard Korean lilacs, an arboretum, an allée of 110 crab apples that border a 1-acre garden, and an orchard of 20 fastigiate hornbeams underplanted with European ginger. Designers Gordon Hayward and Doug Hoerr have contributed to the design.
