Parterres I, HI, and V, Hampton Gardens, 1902. Note the high level of maintenance in Parterre I, the only
parterre which retains its original geometric configuration. In 1902, the boxwood surroundedbeds of mixed
geraniums. Parterre HI contained roses. Hampton NHS collection.

This view of Parterres II, IV, and VI was photographed c.1890. It indicates the altered form, first developed
at Hampton by Eliza Ridgely, using Victorian bedding plants instead of boxwood. Planted here are
annuals such as attemantheras and coleus. Hampton NHS collection.
