Graygarden

Graygarden is a location and a possible settlement in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Staffed by a fleet of Mister Handy robots, and led by the three color coded Supervisors by the name of White, Brown and Greene, Graygarden is a bountiful greenhouse for the Commonwealth.

It was founded before the Great War by Dr. Edward Gray. Here the Sole Survivor can trade with Supervisor Greene, start the quest Troubled Waters by speaking to Supervisor White, while Supervisor Brown will reward the player character for returning crop samples from the wasteland, which will cause the Graygarden workers to begin cultivating those crops as well as their original crops.

Layout
Just outside the greenhouse is a large field of mutfruit which are tended to by a couple of Mr. Handies and inside are several planters filled with corn, carrots, gourds, tatos and more mutfruit.

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 station, assorted glassware and a pulse mine. The kitchen has collapsed and is inaccessible from within the homestead.

The overpass above can be built upon, but there is no existing way to access it from the Graygarden settlement.

Inhabitants

 * Supervisor Brown
 * Supervisor Greene
 * Supervisor White
 * Mister Handy robots

Notable loot
To the east there is a crashed Vertibird on the upper level of the highway with some ammo boxes beneath the overpass. A bit further east, near the next highway support pylon, is a window washer style elevator that lifts to the upper level. Walk back towards Graygarden to find a suit of power armor.

Appearances
Graygarden appears only 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" could be 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 (flea, cat, and raccoon-infested) East Hampton mansion that has almost completely returned to nature.
 * Another potential real-world influence for the location's name is the renowned 19th Century American Botanist and long-time Harvard professor Asa Gray. Gray was a contemporary and colleague of Charles Darwin, and his home near the Harvard campus is a National Historic Landmark. Though not precisely analogous to the in-game location, Gray's home is near two streets named Graygardens West and Graygardens East. Near the Asa Gray house one finds the Harvard Botanic Garden, and the Gray Herbaria, part of the Harvard Museum of Natural History and home to over 5 million species of flora.
 * 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.
