Short Hills -- Bush Garden
Object Details
- General
- This garden on Western Drive in Short Hills was designed by Lois Poinier about 1960 (additional design work has been undertaken since 1995 by Joan Kennedy Alexander). Features included a terrace for outdoor living with a fountain and extensive plantings of azaleas, rhododendrons, and similar shrubs, surrounded by trees. Because of a steep slope on one side and a sloping grade on another low steps led from one grassy area to another before arriving at the terrace itself.
- Persons associated with the garden include: Lois W. Poinier (garden designer, ca. 1960); Joan Kennedy Alexander (garden designer, ca. 1995); and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Bush (former owners, 1948-1995).
