It was designed by William Frost, a well-known English Landscapist, and it is considered by authorities to be an outstanding example of early American garden design. More than an acre in area, the garden contains about fifty varieties of old fashioned plants and great hickory and magnolia trees planted by General Jackson. Other interesting varieties of trees in the garden and on the grounds have markers showing their common and botanical names. Copy of an old English sundial given by Thomas H. Berry. Base given by James W. Pearre. The tomb of General and Mrs. Jackson is in the south-east corner of the garden, and many other members of their family and household are buried in the plot nearby. [Illustration: Garden plan.] THE TOMB [Illustration: The tomb.] The tomb was built by General Jackson in 1831 and was erected over his wife, with a vault for himself. The inscription on General Jackson’s tomb is: General Andrew Jackson Born March 15, 1767 Died June 8, 1845 The inscription on Mrs. Jackson’s tomb was written by her husband, and is as follows: “Here lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel Jackson, wife of President Jackson, who died the 22nd of December, 1828. Age, 61 years. Her face was fair, her person pleasing, her temper amiable, her heart kind; she delighted in relieving the wants of her fellow creatures, and cultivated that divine pleasure by the most liberal and unpretending methods; to the poor she was a benefactor; to the rich an example; to the wretched a comforter; to the prosperous an ornament; her piety went hand in hand with her benevolence, and she thanked her Creator for being permitted to do good. A being so gentle and so virtuous slander might wound, but could not dishonor. Even death, when he bore her from the arms of her husband, could but transport her to the bosom of her God.”
