Title: Key to garden

Type: Landscape & garden documents and designs

Description: Three page listing of plants from Notchview in Windsor, Massachusetts. The names of each plant is given, along with the estimated price and the quantity to be purchased. The list is organized by planting areas: driveway border, shrub border, entrance border, and shrubs in Colonial Garden. Notchview was owned by Arthur D. Budd (1891-1964) and his wife, Helen Gamwell Budd (1865-1958). Budd moved to Notchview in 1932 upon his retirement. He bequeathed the property to The Trustees in 1965. Budd was Lt. Col. in the United States Army. His career accomplishments include serving in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, making combat liaison with the 4th French Army under General Henri Gouraud and earning a Distinguished Service Cross for action near Grand Pré. He was the first person to enter Les Petites Armoises, and his troops took Tannay in November 1918. A statue was erected in Tannay in July 1921, recognizing the American liberation and Budd in particular. In 1923, he served as Aide to General Gouraud, accompanying him on a tour of the United States.
