Gideon Hollister (along with his son Preston) was a prominent farmer who also owned and operated a sawmill on this property. The gardens were a late 1970s addition to the property, and both the gardens and house are now run as a non-profit organization open to the public for touring. The non-profit describes the gardens as "an American interpretation of such classic English gardens as Sissinghurst, Great Dixter and Hidcote, formal in its structure but informal and rather wild in its style of planting."
