Early American Women Designers

Study three pioneering women designers—Beatrix Farrand, Marian Coffin, and Ellen Shipman—who shaped America's tastes in the early 20th century. We'll focus on gardens that showcase Farrand's knack for innovation and infallible eye for design, Coffin's use of contrasts in color, texture, and space, and Shipman's rich planting style that exploded formal organization. You will also be able to view original plans of NYBG gardens they designed, such as Rockefeller Rose Garden, Benenson Ornamental Conifers, and Ladies' Border, respectively.
