Is it a formal boxwood parterre right out?

Yeah, and that's one of the oldest landscape elements of the property.

It's kind of a cool story.

The design is the original design that Thomas and Martha Peter put in when they moved in and made their landscape and garden.

But in the Civil War, the property was rented out.

The gardens fell into disrepair, and when Britannia, Thomas and Martha Peter's daughter, the owner at that time, came back and saw this, she was like, "Oh, it's not worth it.

Let's take out the box knot." We call it a box knot.

It's the north side of the house, correct? That's the European style formal gardens.
