 Symposium: Martha Brookes HutchesonCelebration of Women in Landscape Architecture, Starring Local Legend Martha Brookes HutchesonMartha Brookes Hutcheson was the second female landscape architect in the United States and her property, Merchiston Farm, now called Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center, is part of the Morris County Park system. Click the image at right to see her plan enlarged. Her gardens have been restored and her design aesthetic is in evidence there, as it is in many gardens throughout the Northeast. She was a woman who bucked convention and was ahead of her time in so many ways. Her book, Spirit of the Garden, was re-issued by the American Society of Landscape Architects in 2001 and is still as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1923 to rave reviews. Join Professors Laura Lawson, Connie Webster, Anette Freytag, Kathleen John-Alder and Jean Marie Hartman of the Landscape Architecture Department at Rutgers University for a symposium about women in Landscape Architecture, past and present. Bring a bag lunch. Drinks provided. This program is eligible for 4.0 Rutgers Master Gardener CEUs. Cost: $45 members / $55 non-members Location: Haggerty Center Sponsor: FOFA
