Hedge management plan for Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site
Auwaerter J. 2008. Hedge management plan for Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. National Park Service, Olmsted Center for Landscape Preservation
The historic evergreen hedges at Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site are character-defining features that delineate the perimeter of the landscape and a series of garden rooms. Due to inadequate environmental conditions and improper maintenance, some hedges no longer provide the intended spatial character in the landscape. Maintaining the hedges in a manner that reflects their character during the period of significance while also retaining their health and vigor has long posed a management challenge. This report provides a comprehensive management plan to address these challenges. It documents existing and historic conditions and addresses appropriate maintenance, renovation, and replacement strategies to preserve and enhance the historic character of the hedges.
