Summary:
"The book presents the life and work of one of the foremost landscape designers of the early 1900s:
Beatrix
Farrand
.
Beatrix
Farrand
-- the only female founder of the American Society of Landscape Architects -- was born into a prominent New York family (she was Edith Wharton's niece) designed lavish gardens for the leaders of society, including the Harknesses, the Rockefellers, and the Blisses. Ultimately her portfolio extended to college and university campuses, including Princeton, Yale and the University of Chicago, and public gardens, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and the Rose Garden at the New York Botanical Garden among them. Perhaps her best-known work is the extensive garden at Dumbarton Oaks, originally a private residence and now a research institute of Harvard University. Deeply influenced by the English landscape designer Gertrude Jekyll,
Farrand
was known for broad expanses of lawn with deep swaths of borders planted in a subtle palette of foliage and flowers. Her gardens have been photographed at their peak especially for this book, and these lush illustrations are complemented by beautiful watercolor wash renderings of her designs, now preserved at the library of the University of California at Berkeley."
