View of the Governor's Palace garden terraces, also known as "falling gardens," 1935. In the foreground, a female costumed interpreter (originally referred to as a "hostess") sits on a bench. These falling gardens, in addition to the canal (at base of stair, out of view) and the ice mount (also out of view) are original eighteenth-century features of the Palace gardens. The remainder of the gardens - designed and reconstructed by Arthur Shurcliff - include boxwood parterres and one dozen large cylindrical shrubs known as the Twelve Apostles, a feature often appearing in eighteenth-century English gardens.
