of the most successful female landscape architect in 20th century
America. This compeling film chronicles the life of Beatrix Farrand, the

dominated profession to design over 200 landscape commissions during her
remarkable 50 year career. The film takes the viewer on an inspiring
journey across the country as we explore more than 50 Farrand
garden-related sites and discover how her design work is still relevant
today. 40 minutes.
