The Gardens of Colonial Williamsburg

About 10 years ago when I was living in Mobile, Ala., one of my neighbors asked me
for advice on building a fence in her front yard. Her main concern was the proper
height. I figured since there were so many gardens with fences in Williamsburg,
someone there would guide us. So I called Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and I
was put on the phone with M. Kent Brinkley. He told me of a study a lady who had
work for
Colonial Williamsburg
had done this great study on fences. He also informed
me that he was writing a book on the Gardens of Williamsburg.
So when the book came out, I rushed to get a copy. It was a great book on the
lovely and simple formal gardens of the town of Williamsburg. Its photographs were
feasts for the eyes.
