Monday, July 7 @ 7:00 pm:  Come and discover the story of America’s first female Landscape Architect, Beatrix Farrand. She found success in the 1920s and 30s in the male-dominated field of landscape design. Born in New York City in 1872, Farrand is known for the gardens she designed for the White House, Dumbarton Oaks, New York Botanical Garden and Yale University. Her career included commissions to design about 110 gardens for private residences, estates and country homes, public parks, botanic gardens and college campuses.

Farrand owed her success to her unerring eye for design, profound knowledge of horticulture and deep commitment to her profession that inspired others to follow in her footsteps. She was famous for her complex flower borders as well as her advocacy of native landscapes and plants, which she wove into a classical design framework. This presentation will discuss her early influences and education as well as her most notable projects.
