Even before Augustus Saint-Gaudens bought the property known as Huggin's Folly he had begun to design and create a house and landscape which would become known as Aspet, named for his father's birthplace in the south of France and consciously reminiscent of the French and Italian countryside. He began planting an extensive hedge of white pine and hemlock which he and then his wife Augusta maintained for four decades. The purpose of the report is to present a current evaluation of the hedges, to assess their place in the historic landscape and to make recommendations for their preservation and restoration.
