85 South Water Street - Open Day 7.10.25

In 1950 a sunken geometric garden in the form of a Union Jack flag was laid out to complement the historic 18th century house. It was designed by Miss Frances Louise Meikleham and her mother, a founding member of the Martha's Vineyard Garden Club. The present owners, from London, are knowledgeable hands-on gardeners who have collaborated with garden designer Nan Sinton since 1997. Their focus is to enhance the property, including the sunken garden, selecting interesting, salt tolerant plantings for the seaside setting. This is a summer garden planned to look at its most attractive from late June through September with a peak season in July and August. Presently it is carefully maintained by Edgar Avalino and his team.
