"THE WILD GARDEN"
The Beatrix Farrand Garden Association and the Landscape and Arboretum Program at Bard present Rick Darke, renowned author, photographer and landscape consultant, with an illustrated lecture on the design and stewardship of the livable landscape and featuring his award winning photography from his expanded edition of William Robinson's influential book "The Wild Garden" first published in 1840. The lecture will be followed by a garden party at Bellefield amid hundres of peonies in bloom. Heirloom plants and garden treasures will be on sale at the party. Rick Darke will be signing copies of his celebrated books at the sale.
Beatrix Farrand’s long friendship and correspondence with Robinson greatly influenced her signature style of creating naturalistic surroundings for her formal designs. As BFGA embarks next to restore Farrand’s “Wild Garden” here at Bellefield, there could not be a more timely and relevant subject for discussion, and we are honored to have Rick Darke bring his insight and stunning photographic images to the Annual Bellefield Design Lecture.
Seating is limited, so advance purchase of tickets is required. To purchase tickets, visit http://www.beatrixfarrandgarden.org/

From April through October, the Frederick W. Vanderbilt Garden Association will once again offer Interpretive Tours of the formal gardens at the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site. Tours will be given (weather permitting) on the third Sunday of each month during the gardening season: April 21, May 19, June 16, July 21, August 18, September 15 and October 20.
Volunteer interpreters will discuss the history of the gardens, with a focus on the Vanderbilt ownership and the mission of the Vanderbilt Garden Association to rehabilitate and maintain the plants, shrubs, trees, and statuary in the gardens as they were in the 1930’s just prior to Mr. Vanderbilt’s death. They will also provide information about two major projects the gardens are currently undergoing: the renovation of the “Cherry Walk” and the replanting of the rose garden terraces. Visitors can also visit the 1875 Toolhouse building to look at photographs of the gardens taken during the Vanderbilt era. The Toolhouse will also be open every Saturday and Sunday when the Garden Greeters have their information table at the entrance to the gardens.
Visitors should park in the Visitor Center parking lot, and walk down the gravel path from the Mansion to the gardens.
Fee: FREE
