History and Tour of the Beatrix Farrand Garden with Horticulturist Karen Waltuch

This program will begin with a tour of the Beatrix Farrand Garden, located on the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt Historic Site in Hyde Park. Beatrix Farrand was the first professional woman landscape gardener in America. During the tour, we’ll discuss her work, the plantings, and the history of Bellefield–her oldest surviving residential work, completed in 1912–and then save time for a picnic lunch in the garden!

Presented in partnership with Staatsburg Library and Starr Library in Rhinebeck.
