Gardens of the Gilded Age - Book Talk & Tour
Advertisement
Step back into the Gilded Age—a time of elegance, innovation, and artistic ambition, when wealthy industrialists such as the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and DuPonts built extravagant homes and gardens that rivaled the palaces and villas of Europe.
Gardens of the Gilded Age showcases a selection of estates on the East Coast, delving into their histories and the elements that make them unique. Stunning color photographs illustrate the landscape features, architecture, and significant plants. Readers learn about garden design, garden history, cultural influences, international trends, and the lifestyle of this era. This is a journey through time — a celebration of America’s golden age of landscape design and its lasting influence on today’s gardens.
This event will begin at 11 am with a specialty tour of Lyndhurst's Upper Landscape, which includes the Rose Garden and the Greenhouse.
The book talk will take place in the carriage room of the Welcome Center at 12PM after the walking tour, where you will learn more about the Gilded Age gardens featured in the book.
Light refreshments will be included.
