Informations supplémentaires

Photograph by David Coleman. The Dumbarton Oaks Gardens, located in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Washington DC, are a prime example of early 20th-century American landscape design. The gardens were developed by Beatrix Farrand, one of the most influential landscape architects of her time, who began working on the project in the 1920s. The gardens encompass a variety of themed areas, including the Rose Garden, the Urn Terrace, and the Pebble Garden, each featuring unique plantings and design elements. The estate originally belonged to Robert and Mildred Bliss, who purchased it in 1920 and transformed it into a center for horticultural beauty and academic research. Today, Dumbarton Oaks is part of Harvard University and includes a research library and museum dedicated to Byzantine and Pre-Columbian studies. The gardens are open to the public and attract visitors year-round with their lush plantings, historic features, and tranquil settings. Dumbarton Oaks is renowned not only for its horticultural splendor but also for its contribution to the cultural and intellectual life of Washington DC.
