Once a huge vegetable garden, this area now pays homage to the domestic root of this former estate garden. Plants for cut flowers grow in rows. It is a simple garden, American in character, with perhaps a hint of the Midwest.
	A potager, enclosed by paling, contains a mix of vegetables grown for taste and ornament. A rustic fence is walled with tomatoes in summer, Serpent garlic raises its head while thyme passes. Rustic benches are well-placed under the shade of the two katsura trees.
