I first met Shirley Williams in 1994 while attending a landscape-design charette. These classes were conducted at several of the participants’ home gardens, including at Brigham Hill Farm, where Shirley and her husband, Peter, lived. Since then, I have had the privilege of engaging in a creative collaboration—designing, building, and planting many gardens that beautify their historic landscape. The farm is the setting for their hilltop home, an eighteenth-century Georgian colonial in North Grafton, Massachusetts. They are enthusiastic gardeners, charitable land preservationists, and generous garden hosts to many regional, national, and international horticultural institutions.
