Beatrix Ferrand:A Celebrated Landscape Designer
- Wednesday, March 8, 2017, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Session 3 of the 2017 Home Gardening Lecture Series - 2.0 LA HSW CREDITS HOURS WILL BE AWARDED
Ann Clevens Symmes and Karen Smythe will share their knowledge about Beatrix Farrand, her multifaceted garden designs and their project to restore the Beatrix Farrand Garden at Bellefield in Hyde Park, NY. Beatrix Farrand (1872-1959) was among the first professional American women landscape designers. As a founding member of the American Society of Landscape Architects, her influence helped define American taste in gardens during the first half of the 20th Century. Her strong design principles and masterful use of plants have much to teach us about beautiful sustainable landscapes.
Anne Clevens Symmes is a horticulturist and Karen Smythe is Executive Director for the Beatrix Farrand Garden Association.
