	Beatrix Farrand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beatrix Farrand was the only woman of the eleven founders of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
		Farrand was an avid gardener in her youth, and became interested in design and planning after experimenting with different sites on the Reef Point property.
		At age twenty Farrand was introduced to Charles Sprague Sargent, professor of horticulture at the Bussey Institute of Harvard, and also the founding director of the Arnold Arboretum.

	Beatrix Farrand- "Landscape Gardener"
		Beatrix Farrand was the writer Edith Wharton's niece.
		Beatrix Jones Farrand (born Beatrix Cadwalader Jones) was born on June 19, 1872 into a wealthy and well-connected family in New York City.
		Beatrix Farrand preferred to be called "landscape gardener" rather than a landscape architect.

		Beatrix Farrand’s designs could be seen in the planning for the Institute of Human Relations, which was dedicated in 1931.
		Farrand studied landscapes and plants during an apprenticeship at Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum, and as a young woman made several grand tours of Europe—one with her aunt, novelist Edith Wharton—where landscape paintings and vistas of the Old World informed her sense of design.
		Farrand believed that the landscape was as important to university life as the classroom: “We all know that education is by no means a mere matter of books, and that the aesthetic environment contributes as much to growth as facts assembled from a printed page,” she told the alumni weekly at Princeton in 1926.

	Introduction
		Farrand intended that Lovers' Lane be used primarily as a service road for the park.
		Farrand treated this hillside, which extends down from Dumbarton Oaks Gardens to the stream valley, as a transitional area between the upper and lower gardens.
		Farrand allowed this natural woodland to develop as a backdrop for the park and the upper gardens.

		Farrand's work (and that of her head gardener James Clark, who served from 1928 to 1962) survives today almost in its entirety at the Graduate College and in remnants throughout the main campus.
		Farrand respected the noble and monastic character of University life, and her creations were consonant with this vision.
		The walkway from the dinky station to the heart of the main campus gave Beatrix Farrand ample space in which to demonstrate her talent, and it was a project in which she took particular pride.

		Farrand’s role in this project has not been adequately recognized, although it is clear that her vision is imprinted throughout the design which remains in partial effect to this day.
		Farrand’s Road Notes in 1930 provide a revealing glimpse of the high level of attention and imagination which she brought to this enterprise.
		In 1955 Farrand, concerned about the future of Reef Point, decided to transfer the contents of the library, the herbarium, and her own professional correspondence to the University of California at Berkeley.

		Having finished the Beatrix Farrand biography, I disagree with the blurb's characterization of her "sad decline" after Max's death.
		I have grown to admire Beatrix so much that I feel guilty for glibly suggesting as much, not only because she would have been offended (ouch!), but because quite the opposite is true.
		Though desolated by Max's death (in 1945), Beatrix, then age 73, managed to persevere and eventually to resume (as in the title of the current bestseller) a "purpose driven life." It was the world and circumstances that cruelly changed and ultimately dashed "MaxTrix"'s dream for Reef Point to become a botanical institution.

	YAM May 2001 - Old Yale
		Rated the finest female architect of her generation, Farrand, who was born Beatrix Jones Cadwalader in 1872, directed the landscape design and planting of Yale's grounds as consulting landscape gardener to the University from 1922 to 1945.
		Farrand introduced his wife to Yale benefactor Edward S. Harkness, Class of 1897, and in 1918, Harkness put her in charge of planting the gardens at Eolia, his estate near New London (now Harkness Memorial State Park).
		Farrand envisioned the entire campus as a kind of botanic garden, or "outdoor museum," and she landscaped all of the grounds of the new buildings including the residential colleges, the Divinity School, and the Medical School, as well as the garden of the President's house.

		Although much of Farrand's work has been lost or altered in renovations in the 60 years since she was employed at Yale, what still remains has served as a model for future landscaping as the campus continues to evolve.
		Farrand was noted for her hope that her landscaping would help students become more interested in plants, said Mary Helen Goldsmith, chairman of the Program in Studies of the Environment at the environment school.
		One of the main reasons Farrand's wisteria vines and magnolia, crabapple, viburnum, and dogwood trees in the moats and courtyards have disappeared, environment school lecturer Diana Balmori said, is that starting in the 1950s, colleges across the country have not made campus maintenance a priority.

		And in a way, Dumbarton Oaks was the last of a "kind"-- a kind of "belated gesture." Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss commissioned Beatrix Farrand to be the landscape architect for Dumbarton Oaks in the late 1920s and Farrand did not complete her work there until 1947.
		Before the Bliss' gave Dumbarton Oaks to Harvard University, Mildred Bliss made sure that Beatrix coordinated the way in which the gardens had to be maintained.
		And so, although it used to be a private space that only the elite would be invited to, now any person can go there and have a "view" on the interior of a country estate from the Gilded Age.
