EDITORS COMMENTS
Benvenuto," the enchanting residence of Jennie Kennedy (Mrs. Robert P. Butchart) at 800 Benvenuto Avenue in Central Saanich, British Columbia, Canada, radiates an aura of tranquility and beauty in this photograph taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1923. The estate, nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of the region, was built on the site of a former limestone quarry, which had been excavated for Robert Butchart's cement company. The photograph showcases the breathtaking Sunken Garden, a testament to Johnston's exceptional garden design skills. The garden, which was created in the quarry, is adorned with an array of lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and ornate stone structures, including a striking lantern. The serene atmosphere is further accentuated by the reflection of the garden elements in the still water of the quarry. Jennie Kennedy, the visionary behind the estate's design, is depicted in the photograph, standing near the garden's edge, taking in the breathtaking view. The image captures the essence of the garden as a sanctuary, a place of peace and contemplation, and a testament to the transformative power of nature. This photograph, a treasure from the Library of Congress's collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the beauty of nature was celebrated and cherished. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the natural world for future generations to enjoy. Frances Benjamin Johnston's masterful composition and her ability to capture the essence of the garden make this photograph a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the art of gardening, landscape design, and the natural world. This image is a true gem from the 1920s, showcasing the timeless beauty of nature and the enduring allure of a well-designed garden.
