Arthur Shurcliff, left, was the original and principal landscape architect during the earliest years of the Restoration. Alden Hopkins, right, was a deputy to Mr. Shurcliff and in subsequent years went on to assume primary responsibility for the development of Colonial Williamsburg's collection of gardens. "Colonial Revival" is the term that was developed to describe the style of garden design that developed over the course of the early 20th century, a style hugely defined by the work of Arthur Shurcliff and Alden Hopkins.
