Not on viewWeb CommentaryIsabella Stewart Gardner was an avid horticulturalist and maintained extensive gardens at her residence in Brookline, Massachusetts called Green Hill. Her husband Jack inherited Green Hill from his parents in 1884, and Isabella transformed the landscape of 40 acres with gardens reflecting her travels. In this photograph, Isabella is in the property’s conservatory where she and the estate’s Head Gardener, Charles Montague Atkinson, grew plants like the azaleas seen here.
