Graygarden

The Graygarden is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
Staffed by a fleet of Mister Handy robots, and led by three color coded Supervisors, Graygarden is a bountiful greenhouse for the Commonwealth. It was founded before the Great War by Dr. Edward Gray. Here the player can trade with Supervisor Greene while Supervisor Brown will reward the player for returning crop samples from the Wasteland, which will cause they Graygarden robots to begin cultivating those crops as well as their original crops, or trigger the quest Troubled Waters by speaking to Supervisor White.

Layout
Just outside the greenhouse is a large field of mutfruit, and inside are planters with corn, carrot, mutfruit, gourd, and tato plants.

Due west of the main facility are two buildings. The first is a small garage with assorted junk components and a toolbox. The western building, Graygarden homestead, is a two story house with an expert locked basement containing a chemistry stations, assorted glassware, and a pulse mine. The kitchen has collapsed and is inaccessible from within the homestead.

Notable loot
To the east there is a crashed vertibird on the upper level of the highway. A bit further east there is a window washer style elevator that will take you to the upper level. Walk back towards Graygarden to find power armor.

Appearances
The Graygarden only appears in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
Graygarden's location is roughly analogous to the real-world towns of Waltham and Watertown. The two major agricultural sites in these towns are the public farming co-op at Bentley University's now-defunct School of Agriculture and the privately-owned farm at Gore Place.

The name "Graygarden" is derived from a 1975 documentary, "Grey Gardens," by Albert and David Maysles. The film depicts the daily life of a reclusive and isolated mother and daughter duo both named Edith Beale (also known as "Big Edie" and "Little Edie"). Big and Little Edie were, respectively, the aunt and the first cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (the First Lady of US President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy). In the film as in real life, the two formerly well-heeled ladies find themselves, after a period of five decades, somewhat delusional (i.e., stuck in the old days), living in increasing poverty, and in an ever more dilapidated (flee, cat, and raccoon-infested) East Hampton mansion that has almost completely returned nature.

The character of Supervisor White is derived from the US TV show "Green Acres" (1965-1971). Supervisor White's accent and characteristic use of "darling" and the like is similar to that used by Eva Gabor in the show. This was evidently the show on which her creator, Dr. Edward Gray, based her unique personality.

Bugs
It would appear that assigning any of the Mister Handy units to anything other than harvesting (such as defending), they will not go to their posts, and will still continue to harvest plants or just stand still. Assigning them to supply routes still works correctly though. Assigning them to a post such as defense will still confer the +2 to defense for each guard post.
