It was built by her parents in 1925. In it she did all her writing, in an upstairs bedroom. Welty created the garden over decades. The house was first declared a Mississippi Landmark in 2001,〔 added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002,〔 and declared a National Historic Landmark in 2004.〔 This was part of a raised awareness of the significance of authors and literary life in the United States. The house was restored by the Eudora Welty Foundation and State of Mississippi. In 2006 the house and garden were opened to the public as a museum. The renovation of the house and garden is part of a larger effort to celebrate and promote Mississippi's literary heritage as a means of developing tourism to the state. == The Garden == This garden was designed by Chestina Welty, Eudora Welty’s mother in 1925. The garden was often referred to by Eudora and her mother as a labor of love.〔http://eudorawelty.org/the-garden/〕 It is located in the back of Eudora Welty’s childhood home and is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors are able to come and explore the vast amount of different types of flowers growing in the garden. The garden has a rose garden section, woodland garden section and a camellia flower collection. Chestina Welty put enormous effort into the design of the garden, she wanted a different type of flower to blossom for each season. For example, hollyhocks usually appear in the garden during the summer months. Some of the flowers in this garden even appear in Eudora Welty’s stories, such as Flowers for Marjorie. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eudora Welty House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
