The Gillette and Hopkins design for the garden at Kenmore remains a lovely, intimate garden, broadly complemetary of the house in its formality and simplicity. The rear garden makes good use of space, relying on a series of terraces leading up to the house, firmly of the Virginia colonial aesthetic with ample use of box to line paths and planting beds and plenty of brick made from red Virginia clay. The front garden lawn provides a very understated approach to the house, allowing the symmetrical Georgian architecture to speak for itself. The adjacent 'Wilderness Walk' designed by landscape architect Rudy Favretti contributes to the earlier Gillette and Hopkins design while adding further interest with native planting and glimpsed views of the house.
