"Historic Gardens of the Hudson River Valley", a lecture by Adriana O'Sullivan The Hudson River Valley has been the inspiration for painters, writers, architects, and landscape designers since the early 19th century. This is where America's first great landscape artists founded the Hudson River School and where you will find the views and vision that stimulated this national artistic movement, a model for land conservation, and historic gardens that shaped American landscape design. In this talk, we will pay a visit to Kijkuit, Lyndhurst, Boscobel, Montgomery Place, and Olana. These historic Properties are very different, yet they all share majestic views of the Hudson River as well as magnificent landscapes. Originally from Holland, with a background in art, Adriana has been gardening in New England since 1980. She has been involved in many beautification projects in Sharon, Massachusetts, where she is active in the Garden Club. In 2006, Adriana graduated from the Landcape Institute of the Arnold Arboretum at Harvard University with a certificate in Landcape Design and now works as a landscape designer. The meeting will be held at the National Heritage Museum, 33 Marrett Road, Lexington.
The program is free and there is ample free parking at the museum. Note that if Lexington schools are closed, the meeting is cancelled. Please check http://lps.lexingtonma.org/snow/ for school closing information.
