The original Italianate gardens at The Chimneys were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. between 1903 and 1914.By 1991, when Ms. Anderson and her husband purchased the property, the gardens had been neglected for more than 40 years and she had never gardened a day in her life. The restoration and renewal of these historic seaside gardens became Ms. Anderson's three-decade, hands-on personal passion, as she developed the expertise and horticultural proficiency for their evolving design and management.The Chimneys' gardens are once again the centerpiece of the estate and a vibrant example of horticultural elegance. Using archival materials and sumptuous contemporary photographs, Ms. Anderson's talk will offer rare views of one of the most beautiful private gardens in America.if you would like to purchase a copy of Immersion: Living and Learning in an Olmstead Garden, please contact Leslie Adam at [email protected] or 617 901-3664 and she will arrange for it to be available at the event.
