Beatrix Farrand (1872–1959) was an American landscape architect whose career included the design of nearly 110 gardens, public and private. The few projects that survive include Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C.; the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden on Mount Desert, Maine; and elements of the Princeton, Yale, and Occidental campuses. Lynden B. Miller, a public garden designer and director of the Conservatory Garden in Central Park, speaks about Farrand’s life and work. Miller is the author of Parks, Plants, & People: Beautifying the Urban Landscape (W. W. Norton & Company, 2009) and will sign books after the talk. 1.5 LU (AIA) / 1.5 CM (AICP) / 1.5 PDH (LA CES)
