View of the Governor's Palace garden terraces (originally known as "falling gardens"), 1935. A female costumed interpreter stands in a gown at the top of the garden stairway. The falling gardens are one of the Palace's original eighteenth-century features. The canal (at base of stair, out of view) and the Ice House (also out of view) are also original garden features. The remainder of the Palace's reconstructed gardens, designed 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.
